the climate is changing
and here i am lost
in the torrents of rain
pouring from clouded eyes

the climate is changing
and here i am helpless
in tsunamis of feeling
bleeding from open hearts

the climate is changing
and here i am trapped
in tornadoes of pain
gusting past daydreaming minds

the climate is changing
and here i am captured
in earthquakes of yearning
shattering through open hands

the climate is changing
but i stand outside anyway.
