The wild wind blew left and right
It penetrated all corners
Its threatening sound like
The roaring of a jet engine.
My small body swayed
Like a silk curtain
Forced to yield to its power
Followed every bit of command.
Yet I bravely gathered
All my strength and wit
I stood like a metamorphic rock
And cut the savage wind.
