                                             That`s not Safe

                             I dared to battle with the wild thunder
                       Where flashes of lightning could blind the eyes,
                             Where I escaped being torn asunder
                         And darkish clouds veiled the crest of the sky;

                          In this inner tempest that wrecked my heart
                           Every burst of wild wind echoed deep pains
                                Tearing the strata of my heart apart
                       While I struggled with stinging stress and strains.

                             If woeful storms turn the days into night,
                              Will summer sweet sunshine be far away
                          To spread its glow on earth and shed its light,
                                To guide man along the virtuous way.

                          Battling with thunder, I learnt that`s not safe 
                        With due lessons learnt, this can be vouchsafed.
