Falling from the sky
An explosion of heavy downpours..
A cold chilling night ..

When indoors..
Warm and cozy at home..
Homebound for the night..
Feeling...

(Verse 1)
This cannot repeat or loop around anymore, in my direction,
I've had the wind kicked out of my sails due to depression.

Heavy waves, curly like the seas
During the storms,
Laughing in sapphire shadows,
Silencing the sigh, breathless
Prayers for sunlight
Glittering through the clouds,

When the night pours out
Rain so furious and frantic
It ends the moments
Feeling...

full of youths joy and always upbeat,

But one thing’s clear, we understood
It’s water first, or all in vain.

We hired a crew to drill a well;

Time and its observance,
	doesn’t seem to matter anymore
	in other than its passing.
The days come and go
	sometimes quick, sometimes slow
	passing with little effort other than the change in weather.
Warm, soft, spring mornings give easy passage
	to gentle,...

Before there were rainbows, I roamed ambidextrously,
I streeled out into predawn air, senseless between Moon and Mars,
Reeling under Calvinistic cinder blocks, I hid from my shadows.
