It only takes a few minutes For lighting to flash, & to make a tree fall. A tree so tall it almost touched the sky A tree that provided for its creatures Bearing fruit from a branch As if it were a human Holding out their hand saying, “This is for you”. It stands no longer, With no more to give. While skies are grey Darkening the world With no sign of sunlight We were birds trying to fly While our wings were wet A futile effort. We were drenched, we were cold, & we were tired Tired of fighting this storm. When the wind stopped blowing, & the sun started glowing Through a gap between the clouds I felt dry, I felt like it was safe to leave. So I did. But I was cold & alone, So I came back for you. You welcomed me with open arms & we danced all night.

As the Storm Passes
It only takes a few minutes For lighting to flash, & to make a tree fall. A tree so tall it almost touched the sky A tree that provided for its creatures Bearing fruit from a branch As if it were a human Holding out their hand saying, “This is for you”. It stands no longer, With no more to give. While skies are grey Darkening the world With no sign of sunlight We were birds trying to fly While our wings were wet A futile effort. We were drenched, we were cold, & we were tired Tired of fighting this storm. When the wind stopped blowing, & the sun started glowing Through a gap between the clouds I felt dry, I felt like it was safe to leave. So I did. But I was cold & alone, So I came back for you. You welcomed me with open arms & we danced all night.
