When It Rains

When it rains

Tell me the season

When it rains

Tell me the reason

For the quiet

In between

That happen

Between you and me

But rain on me

The water from the sky

So that I may know I am alive

And nourish the ground

Where others lie

Who have gone before

In the night

Wither and Blow

Wither and blow

So I am told

Is the way the winds

Goes

It can destroy

The sturdiest of

Foundations

It can rampage

The plans

We are making

So whether it be

The wind or the snow

It changes the face

Of whatever we

Know

Struggle of Understanding

It’s not easy

Seeing two sides of the coin

When all my mind tells me

Is the whole racquet is annoying

In my own decisions

Or indecisions

There is a vision

Of struggling to understand

That people make their choices

As hard as it is to watch

I know it

But no one wants me to

Stand on my pulpit

So in silence I will struggle

To understand

Withholding judgment

As best as I can

Unarmed

Am I prepared

For this life

The moments

That I fail

To see the hope

Amidst the sadness

When the focus

Is anything but what I want

To focus on

I need help in these times

When my unarmed eyes

Can’t see a way through
