Storm

Our sky seems alarmed

It’s knows something

But can confide in no one

The identity of the culprit

That has given the moon a black eye

Has been uncovered

The storm has arrived

And has no intentions of leaving soon

Destruction reminds it of home

A place where anxiety and panic dance

To the claps of steel drums

The storm is a musician

Thunder is used to disguise

The pounding heart that works too hard

Rain is used to hide the tears

Of a terrified eye

This is not a performance piece

This is an emergency

We are stuck

Help is few

And far between us

Do not worry

I know a secret too, sky

Love the rain

And learn how to make it through

Say it

As many times

As it needs to be heard to understand

To get through the storm

You must learn how to love the rain again.
