Rain
Distant thunder echoing my heartbeat
Muffled by hooded sky;
Timid embrace on a shiny black street;
Questioning tones and muted replies

A sliver of moon
Sewn in a veiled sky;
SIlver light moving in your eyes
Storms smacks like a hit and run
Sky clears and then the silence comes

And then love strikes like lightning
Thunder rolls like pain
Can we carry on the energy?
Can we hold on to love's clarity?
Transform it to conviction and action we sustain
Or are we like the rain?

Two hearts clicking like a hundred clocks;
Two minds racing with a thousand thoughts;
Ominous sky and electric air;
The sparks fly and love is declared
Human spirit is eternal and frail
Can we accept its bounds?
It's frightening to offer oneself without walls
How can we love unless we tear walls down?

And then love strikes like lightning
Thunder rolls like pain
Can we carry on the energy?
Can we hold on to love's clarity?
Transform it to conviction and action we sustain
Or are we like the rain?
