You were the rainstorm of joyful souls Filled with vibrance and life With splashing puddles against dancing feet And the feeling of having more than just a pulse, But possibly a purpose or a reason. You were the light for the hopeless, The lantern of chances That shined through the darkest alleys With shadows cast by the moon. You were the calm and crazed paradox of the ocean With a heart that was created to live And a mind that was made to be tame But a life that was caught in a whirlwind of riptides and tsunamis. You were the green of the grass And the pink, purple, and orange of the sunset With the varying shades of blue and green from the sea. You were the wonders of my own world And the Hell of your own.
