One evening upon a lovely  beach
A young girl strolled along
The sunset warm upon her face
Her heart was filled with song.

From time to time she�d pause
As she walked thru lapping waves
To pick up some whimsical sea shell
Some she dropped and some she saved.

The sky began to darken
And the wind began to blow
She heard the thunder rolling
And knew that she should go.

But, something in the crackling air
Urged her heart to stay
Fat drops of rain came tumbling down
Lightning flashed as bright as day.

The wind was howling louder
Blowing sand against her skin
Like a million tiny daggers
Trying to dig in.

The sea was getting angry
And the waves began to crash
Then something caught her eye
In the next bright lightning flash.

What was that there before her
Lying in the sand
She struggled to get closer,
And then gasped, it was a man.

She fell to her knees beside him
The shells, forgotten, fell to the sand.
�are you ok, why are you here?�
She screamed as she grabbed his hand.

Suddenly he sat up
A grin upon his face
And then she recognized him
She�d seen him every day.

�It�s a beautiful night,� he shouted
Above the raging storm
�And I wanted to share it with you
I know this isn�t the norm.�

�You see, I�ve hoped you�d see me
I�ve watched you every day
But you always just walked by
And never looked my way.�

�I recognized you right away�
She said with a voice of awe
�But, until I found you in the storm,
I guess I never really saw.�

Hand and hand they walked
A new friendship had been born.
Two hearts brought near forever
By the fury of a storm.
Fury of A Storm
