We Fight

Lord, often times as we talk I don't even know where to begin My life and soul belong to you I reserve my heart for my wife As I look out my window the bright of day is engulfed by the darkness of the approaching storm -all turns grey Suddenly in perfect timing my tree and I shudder to the rising winds of the north - The temperature plummets As my temperature skyrockets the pounding in my head leaves me searching for that which can't be found - my eyes go out of focus as I find myself trying to forget that which I can not remember and remember that which I can not forget - confusion follows All things are bound to your will and there is a reason I'm in this place - My temperature breaks - I flush from with-in As my eyes regain focus the pounding decreases though the pain still shrouds my mind The tiredness brings sleep I dream of a rainbow stretching across a mountain meadow. Behind it a waterfall descends from the heavens forming a clear mountain lake where I bathe alone. Thunder rolls across the meadow as lightning pierces the rainbow causing it to explode like the grand finale of a fireworks show. The lightning kisses the waterfall sending a single bolt of light unto me - I awake All is suddenly clear - The greatest triumphs follow our greatest tribulations and true strength is found at the weakest moment for that is when WE FIGHT
