Storm

Streaks of light across the sky
Suddenly night becomes day
Blankets of rain come down
Upon the earth the most romantic way

Flashes of lightning upon the heavens
And fire in the eyes flash too
But gone as quickly as it came
When the tears come and extinguishes it away

Rain upon people, rain upon earth
Puts out fire, kills the flame
But makes you wonder
Why doesn't it kill the passion of lovers
The anger of murderers
The sadness of loneliness
The intensity of pain

The thunder shakes the grounds
It resounds
Resounding in my heart
Hollow, returning echoes
Echoes that hurt so much

I shake and shiver
From the cold
From something else
Only you know
The impact, the truth

Feel, for him the lies
For her, the joy
For them, the sins
For me, only ruth



But the rain goes away and all's fine again
And for awhile we cease to struggle
There will be a day it comes back
Just like life, just like life

A violent cycle.
