Run and Live

Tender torrent, week long moment while the skies fill dark and crimson Back lit lightning, lovely, frightening while my heart trips over itself Call the whisper, brother, sister sweep the sky with your liquid eyes Tin the rooftops, as the heart stops waiting for thunder to stomp the air Birds stop singing, ears are ringing as the clomping rain pools up Trees kiss soil, burnt turmoil while the wind lets loose her breath Run for cover, father, mother beg the sky to lift you high If you listen, brother, sister you will hear the sound of death.
