The Storm completed

So, an ending for the Storm came to me a few days later while emailing someone else. I'll put the whole piece here rather than break it up.

A storm approaches
I feel it's power
Am I it's victim
or am I it's master
I feel the wind
as it howls about me
I fight it's strength
I am losing the battle
I push against it
Only I am blown back
I take a breath
I feel my center
From there I can see
I am the storm
The storm is me
Am I it's victim
or am I it's master
I find I am neither
and I am both
I am a conduit
I let the power flow through me
The storm works it's fury
Against marble walls
I diffuse it's anger
I harness it's might
I let it work for me
It gives up the fight
I am the storm
I have the power
I will prevail.


The ending sounded a little egotistical to me but that's how it came out and I choose not to change anything. It really refers to the power over self as opposed to power over others...I think that is obvious due to the whole bit being about an internal struggle.
