The Storm (by Uxian)

On finding your way when lost within your own heart

For long have I walked alone in sand
Wilderness all that I could see
The dunes stretched out in all directions
No emptier, lonelier place you could be
And all I had heard in many long years
Were the breeze and the dust around me
The relentless beating of arid waves
In a hollow and lifeless sea

Then one day as dusk was falling
Twixt sky's fires and the dunes' dark roll
Stood a distant form with eyes so bright
They could pierce your very soul
She spoke in silent phrases that would
Echo all throughout the land and sky
And danced her dance with grace and form
That spoke to the very Gods on high

And as this rite took place I felt
The world touched by this subtle hand
The stifled air came fresh and cool
And life embraced this extinct land
Upon the long-dry desert earth
The first rains gently fell
As the druid's storm filled my barren heart
And made a heaven from this hell
