Dimmeliel of the Storm

The sky darkens as Dimmeliel weeps her clouded heart battered and broken Lightning splits the blackened heavens Thunder roars with her endless song Lone Dimmiliel, canst not her heart break no more? And the icy rain rushes down Mingling with her omnipresent tears Freezing like her shattered heart did long ago And yet she sings, raging like a storm to the storm for the benefit of the storm Blasting the landscape with her anger Blaspheming love and all of its inequities Sweet Dimmeliel falls to her knees Beating the ground with clenched fist Perfectly in time with her heart-wrenching dirge The wind buffets her wild hair, whipped like a beaten slave The hail gashes her fair, delicate skin But unrelenting she keeps singing Unstoppable in her folly an ode to the storm honouring the storm Dimmeliel's song will hardly end.
