MOMENTS - HOME             Elsa - Heavy Rain

Heavy rain
      in my soul
  Heavy grays

as if I toil
  underground
  in a mine
  with weeping walls
      dark with grime

 

Blue skies
      Autumn golds
  Vivid honeys

I behold
  with my eyes

But inside
  dark gray skies

 

Your touch is warm
  But I am numb
  tired
  weary
  I've become

  dark and gray

Heavy rain
  in my soul



I despair
can't believe
we'll make it through
you and me

as a couple
as a pair

 

Heavy grays
  everywhere

 

not honeyed golds

 
 

Is it old grief
welling through
bruising the day
me and you?

 

Or is it the truth? -
there won't be
a couple
made of
you and me?

 

For now
despair



blue skies
your warm touch

barely touching

the rock of fear
the wall of chill

as I plod onward
led by my will

 

but I long for
a nest
a rest
a love that fills

stills

the cold gray rain
      in my soul
