Standing in the middle

Of the immense confusion,

I cover my ears to shut out

The howling winds and thrashing waves.

Everyone around me is disappearing,

Snatched up by the violent Jenny,

Swept away by the stormy seas.

Absolutely everyone but me.

I stand-alone and I stand strong.

Firmly rooted to the ground.

Nothing can ever move me now,

Not the bellowing winds, not the stormy seas.

I drop to my knees, unable to resist.

Even the resilient can sometimes fall.

"Take me! Take me too!" I cry,

As the winds and rains subside.
