The bright sun suddenly bright no more

The blue skies suddenly blue no more

 Clouds seem to come and go as they please

The sun can only peek once a while, not to displease.

Dark shadows loom larger than life, I don’t know why

One by one, erratic lightening crack up a twilight sky

I wanted the sun to stay strong a while more

Just a moment longer, not a second less not a second more…

The Rain Gods are not happy with me I guess

The winds blew dry leaves to a chaotic mess

My prayers were answered with dreadful sounds of thunder

No place to hide to place to duck under.

I ran fast; my feet can’t keep up with this manic mind

No more peace, no more smiles, love is one thing I cannot find.

Rain drops falling on my face, on my head,

Blurring my vision of the road ahead…

Crawling through the inseams of my dress

My soul drenched long before the rains impress.

The road smelt of wet earth so sublime and so right

The murky paths seemed to laugh at my sorry plight

I ran and ran, up the hill, through many a tree

Wanting desperately to set my soul a free…

The way was long, and no savior far and wide

Only memories of careful passersby offering me a ride

But I declined, not sure why, nor did I try

Now when I recall, I missed my chance, I cry and cry…

I tell myself to break away my friend, break away my dear

Escape is freedom; no more hate no more fear

But a lone silver lining won’t let me lose my heart,

Nor let my confused mind fall totally apart…

A lone silver lining showed me the way

I won’t let him down, he promised my worries away…

Where trees had large leaves to shade the rain

Where the roads hurt less, erasing my pain

The rains cannot soak me anymore he said

This time I will not be lost, no more be afraid…
