Gray clouds block the sun
Its rays struggle to shine through the cracks
Will the sun reign and blue skies prevail
Or will the black thunder bring lightning strikes
Time takes forever
And the rain begins to fall
The sun sets unnoticed
No beauty reflected in the rainbow sky
The moon now hidden by the storm
The night is black and chills the soul
Windburned cheeks hold tears
Though the wet is quickly dried
The salt lines remain
Remnants of sadness and lingering pain
For once the heartbreak is for others
To see their losing battle
To watch it play out from the sidelines
Helpless to change their path
Their journey is their own
Yet the heart is still broken
The laggard storm clouds slowly scatter
The moonlight shows through just before dawn
The sun unceremoniously begins to rise
