In Léopold Senghor's poem "Long, long you have held between your hands," the word "storms" metaphorically refers to the hardships, struggles, and turmoil faced by the people, including the oppressive actions such as raids or attacks by racist police forces rather than to storms of passion or literal weather phenomena like sea or rain storms.
