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
