House In the Storm
The storm wages on within the dark sky
Dark grey clouds have erupted there within
Rain does spurt downward nailing the soft ground
Damaging that of nature and my skin
It’s hard to see ahead to that old house
With just a single dim light on upstairs
To frighten those onlookers in the dark
Evil seems to ooze out of the yard lairs
Lightning strikes illuminating the yard
I see only grass there, nothing special
Nothing fearful was expressly shown there
The imagination is quite loyal
I was ashamed that I thought bad was there
It was only a place of happiness
Beauty was here even in the downpour
I stand in the rain, with real stupidness
Always the rain brings interest deep inside
Whether or not it’s near a house that’s strange
Or in a field of grass that looks so fine
I love the rain, the glory on the range
