Thy Gentle Storm(Sonnet)

Thy storm is gentle, with added fire,
To purge by degree silent woe; tis true.
For spirit remembers when wind first blew,
And lifted charmed skyline a notch higher:
 
'Twas thy kindness which strikes memory most;
That sweet much underrated example
Of which too often common men trample,
Whilst active within some trivial boast.
 
Not forsaking thy words possessed of flair,
I make mention now of boldness with pen;
Such works overdue that I read again,
Committing mine eyes to lines more than fair.
 
Simply stated thy breeze is such treasure,
Which poetry alone may not measure.

    Tis quite the competition, I've read within your lines
    wishing the Storm Goddess happiness as another year for her chimes
    for truly indeed I wish you luck as a fellow gentleman should do
    but now you've got me wondering if she'll pick me or you!
