The sound of power tears through the air
The clouds cry with relief
And the ground soaks up its offering
The people revel in its happiness
Relief from Helios' ever present heat
**Rain indeed

Whirr of the fan set on low
Soft talking down below
Crickets chirping out my window
Wind softly does it blow
These are the reassuring sounds that I know
They lull me to sleep, just so

I cannot paint
I cannot draw.
But I can draw
The most beautiful, detailed sketches
With my thoughts
But I can paint a scene,
A story, and a dream
And make it vibrant
And alive in your imagination,
With only my words.
My art is special in another way.

The thunder roars
And takes my breath away.
The lightning flashes
All i see are the clouds
So black and menacing
And as the rain falls down around me,
I look up to the sky
And the tears I shed are
No different from
The drops that fall
From my face.

Darkness draws in on all sides.
The light being ****** in softly and lovingly
Into the silence that permeates this utter void
That cold hard dark caresses and carefully utters
Sweet, sweet promises to the light
Promises never kept
Lies told so easily
The light fades and fades
Pulled in from the allure
Of that enticing darkness
She doesn't realize that she is hurting herself
Led astray but something not needed nor wanted
Lulled by promises of love
Promises of love
Only a small piece of her remains
That enchanting light that the darkness had to claim
Darkness draws in on all sides
Lies told so easily

I smile for the happiness I feel inside
For the pain I try to hide.
The utter despair I sometimes feel
The smile to conceal
Smiling for the joy
For the love of a boy
The smile is not just for what I feel
Sometimes it is a seal
For the emotions that rage away
Inside my heart everyday
So judge me by my cover
For those emotions are hidden under
The facade that sometimes my lips fake
The smile for my *own emotions sake

Cry, wail, lament, and mourn

The love you shared, and the fact

You will never see your

Lover,

Soul-mate,

Dearest friend again.

But rejoice, celebrate, and be joyous,

That their soul has left

The weak, sick, form they once inhabited.

They suffered and were in pain.

They cried out to be put out of their miseries

But held a strong face.

They watched the sympathetic faces of the blurring crowd;

But one stood out among the rest.

The true visage of their love

And the sorrow that clouded their eyes.

That sorrowful love made the pain

Better and

Worse.

In those last moments of life they want

That person beside them,

That last look,

That last "I love you,"

And that last image in their eyes,

Burned into their mind is

You.

To them that is the best. most wonderful sight

In the world.

In that moment they know

They have not died in vain.

While you cry after they pass,

They rejoice with the knowledge of seeing

You, one last time and that you are living on.

So be sad for today,

But remember they left you to live

And be happy.

So cry for today,

BUT

Awaken tomorrow with a new purpose,

The purpose of living for your love.

*The purpose of Death.
