I felt the eye of day rise over me,
And within a blink I felt it bleed;
The rain was clear, and desperately,
It painted Love all over me.
It cleansed my soul and called my name.
It erased my hold on filth and shame;
I prayed Nature’s love would give me fame,
But I got nothing but a name.

The spark that birthed the sky anew:
Was nothing more than Love’s debut;
I stand tall in the rhythms that sing,
The sweetest symphony in the early Spring.
My hopes of clouds covering the blue,
Cried tears of joy as my wishes came true.
I swam in the remnants of the beautiful gloom,
And watched the petals so carefully bloom.

With a trembling finger, I traced the stones,
That lined the path like broken bones;
With silent steps, I treaded this trail,
That held silver beads as Nature’s Braille;
With quivering breaths, I closed my eyes,
Following the lead of the blind and wise;
I trusted this grey to guide my way,
Hoping the answer would show in the spray.

The drops that graciously danced on my skin,
Called forth the storm I had held within;
The lightning and thunder behind these lashes,
Created the beauty I heard in the crashes;
I lifted my arms to embrace such weather:
From deep in my heart, I had found the better;
I sang to the clouds that painted my sky,
And praised the silk diamonds that Heaven could cry.

If there was a truth that existed in me,
That could take this shame and set me free,
I beg for the mercy that I have been missing:
Erase the scars the rain has been kissing!
I have walked your ground of see-through debris,
As soft as the cold and as lost as me;
I’ve learned what I can from your clouds of grey,
That have empowered my mind and brightened my day.

I have prayed to your Heavens that cry at this time,
Please take your silence and leave me with mine.
I curl my fingers into the softest of fists,
Regretting my words that have started this.
I’m caught up in the storm I could not create,
Unbalanced, distrustful: my dubious soul mate.
I’ve wished for this moment, to swim with the Love,
Descending as tear drops from the Heavens above.
