The Rain

Today... for a little while, you were here again, with me. I felt you in the air, all around me. You sat next to me and I talked to you about the million little things that I miss about you. Like the way we used to ride our bikes in the rain, and how you'd always let me win our races. The flat tires, and dares, the way that you would tease me into doing things and I would fall for it every time because I loved the challenge. I want so badly to really talk to you again.... to hear your voice, to hear you laugh, to see your cheeky smile ...  just one more time. Today the rain brought you to me, long enough for me to love you and lose you all over again. .. I miss you, I'm sorry you were alone, that I wasn't there so you wouldn't feel alone... so that you wouldn't feel afraid... I want you to know that I've gone back since then in my mind, a million times I've gone back for you and every time I'm there with you, every time we are together...and you're not alone. Sometimes I look up and I try to find your face in the clouds, like that's how you see me now. And me searching earnestly for some kind of heavenly wave... . we will race again someday love, until then, wait for me in the rain...

Beginnings

I watched the house
As it fell right to the ground.
I was away from you.

And I watched the birds
As they fell out from the sky.
Into the hands of decay
I wish there was a way for you.

And I felt your voice
As it carried with the wind.
Like a fire in my ears.
Like the darkness of fear.

And I would bathe in ash
As it rained down from above.
And it would cast me out now
Into the fields of love.

And I watched the birds
As they fell out from the sky.
Into the hands of decay
I wish there was a way for you.

And I felt your voice
As it carried with the wind.
Like a fire in my ears.
Like the darkness of fear.
Like the voice of God.
