The clouds are swollen with rain in the sky
Covering the blue with patches of grey
The sun hides just like a maiden too shy
Giving the stormy clouds the right of way

My ship was lost in the sea of sorrow 
Its masts broke into a million pieces
It took on water in the decks below  
As its hull was pounded by the rough seas

The wind greeted me with a nice cool breeze
While the ocean wanted to say hello
The waves played a symphony with their sighs
Crashing against the rocky shores below

She displays her petals of purple hues 
And undulates gently as the wind blows
She glistens in the morning with a pose
And her magnificent bloom always glows

The wind tenderly blows her sun-kissed skin 
Mapping out her edges and perfect curves 
All peaks and valleys and spaces between 
With all the attention that she deserves
