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
