Dodging Raindrops

In the eye of the storm brave hearts embrace Fears stirring confusion in her turbulence We recollect our mangled existence To move forward with growing resilience In her eye, the look of clarity Safe in her blink of surety In the distance hurricane winds Twirl and twist, play games with our minds In the face of such overbearing power The vortex rising higher than a tower Knees buckle and weaken as we cower The will to live tested in a baptism of fire Tempers flare as lightning signals life and death The battle of the heavens descends to earth I walk on deadly ground Life is a landmine field Listening for the chirp of the sparrow For signs of life through the cold shower We plead for her forgiveness And shelter in the ominous stillness Yet still we stand in the pool of our teardrops The cumulonimbus brewing boulders I'm yet to see the rainbow, The storm is still not over 04-Jan-2015
