The Tempest

Standing in a rain storm
Darkness falls behind
Waters showers, rain drops
Falling to the ground

The drops play a melody
Countless drops fall
Each in line with one melody
But telling so many different stories

A calming steady melody
With an occasional flash of light
An occasional frightening clap
But mostly balanced and even

I am the calm after the storm
While the tempest lies in you
Feel the impartial beat of the drops
Appreciate the irregularity of the claps

The darkness will eventually break
The heavens will cease to cry
And when the clouds smile down
The Earth will let some light in for you

I will be your light
I will be your melody
I will keep you steady
I will be your calm
