Forces of Nature

I'll fall upon you like the darkness of night With a thunderous spirit as you observe my jolting might Bringing a rain that carries a peace Washing away the heartache and allowing its release You'll feel my presence like the flood waters rising Like a gust through the treetops and a flash of lightning Powerful and frightening while beautiful and unexpected You won't see me coming yet you'll be glad to have witnessed I'll travel ever so quietly by the way of the eye Lingering softly in the storm clouds passing by As you wait out the storm and prepare for the worst I'll hit you with with relief but fear you'll feel first Once all is done and the sun comes out I will be there in the winds that die down You'll see me there in the violet ray of a rainbow Igniting a warmth as the calm envelopes you I do not have a side; I am neither good or bad I cannot be subdued nor detoured from my path I am a force who receives her power from the Earth I have grown in the bayou nights and Louisiana dirt A soul enriched by the truest of means Growing stronger each day; taking flight by her dreams Unstoppable, untamable, not frightened in the least This storm that I am riding, it flows through my veins When the fury of a category 5 is what lies in your soul An E7 would be the only match to which she would fold The two, together, raging through the world Two souls captivated by the strength and weakness that the other holds No need to wait for me, for you cannot predict From which way or by which night your life I will hit Just as I will not wait or watch for you in the skies For you will too will rush upon me in the least expected of times Casting an unrelentless love upon me as our forces combine Two hearts created through life's storms and two souls intertwined
