The Storm
Rain falls on the roof
Each drop plays a familiar note
I toss and turn no sleep to be found
The storm rages on
A chill fills the summer air
My body aches with fear and longing
No comfort to be found inside
The storm rages on
Raindrops hit my face
One by one, they awaken my senses
To erase fear, doubt, and sensibility
The storm rages on
Lightning streaks across the sky
I am blind to the dangers ahead
In the flash of light I see only hope
The storm rages on
As fast as it came
The rain starts to fade
I retreat inside my shelter
The storm rages on
My thirst overcomes me
I am consumed by the need
To feel the rain on my face again
The storm rages on
The stars shine like gems
On a cloudless night
I toss and turn no sleep to be found
The storm rages on
