I used to love the sound of rain The way it pittered on a windows pain; The way it patterned on a cobbled lane I used to love the rain.
You pealed across my sky like thunder While I, like lightning, zigged and zagged in blunder; On darkened night you aimed to plunder But this golden heart had been torn asunder.
I can't account for the ways I've healed Or which battles on wounded knee I've kneeled; It's seen on every battle field The way I've fought, yelled, whispered, & keeled.
I wrote this after my world went dark and I was forced to make the skies erupt in fire.
