In the Valley

Dark clouds burst forth with thunder Rain came down on what time forgot Filled in all the spaces where air dwelt Empty at first, before filling in the blanks There is no place to hide in the valley Storms hit the spot every time Green grass seems like an illusion That left on the breath of a new born baby Moved to somewhere safe up above There for a moment you can hear it Along with a river forming below Rising on a flash flood crashing Covering trees in a memory deluge Flowing on the banks of reason Into tomorrows lost accounts of Spring When the rain comes it comes down hard Sometimes with thunder if it remembers
