It started like the whirlwind
Shifted from darkness by an unknown steam
This barrel wept seas of tears
And complained of being taken away by the wind
Now I cannot imagine your broad beam
As you looked into my steps in a few years
There were heavy barrels which capsized in the beam
There were lighter ones which over turned before the steam
There were those like me who’s content spilled and had no tears
But here I am, I say you’re kind
And can’t shed my broad beam
Thank you for leading me to you.
