Storms

Sometimes it takes a storm

To really see the light.

The scent of rain,

The weight of clouds

Pulling down the sky.

.

Sometimes it takes a storm

To know how you feel.

To understand indigo,

The varnished sun

Lighting up the fields.

.

It takes the rain

between the lines

To know what sorrow

finds.

From "Storm"
