The pride of a tempest is such,
Thinks it can blow away the Sun,
Sway it off from its perpetual run.
Dribble it out of its eternal light,
Turn its shine into darker plight.
Smother its identity with gloom,
Enslave into a shrouded groom!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The pride of a tempest is such,
Blinded conceit sees not much.
Unwittingly naive its having fun;
Comparing itself with the wise Sun.
A tiny grain challenging the rock,
Only to shatter in an utter shock!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The pride of a tempest is such,
It can eliminate all with its touch.
What roars more, rarely impact,
Can only rumble in a false act,
Unlike the Sun forever intact!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The pride of a tempest is such,
About hope it knows not much.
Ruination is in its prime nature,
While sun restores and nurtures!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The pride of a tempest is such,
Thinks it can end the legacy of Sun,
But in the process, it only burns.
Who compares Sun with storms,
It’s odd against all cosmic norms.
Dark whirls may intimidate a sight,
Yet remain transient in their might,
Fading to nothing in grace of light!
