Analysis of THE TEMPEST
through the sultry night
i begged for a puff of breeze
or one drop of rain
my eyes were burning
i was unable to sleep
i tossed and I turned
all of a sudden
lighting flashed in the desert
followed by thunder
come hither o storm
i welcome your destruction
take all that you will
even my body
for I care not if I die
give my poor soul peace
she unleashed her wrath
in magnificent terror
a storm of ages
nothing now remains
but bleak desolation in
the bright morning sun
