Thunderstorm

The rain crys slowly and steadily

and she cries all day, all night

as the lightning strikes his anger

drinking whiskey and smoking blunts

the thunder calls out in a thunderous voice

Stop!

How dare you cry about life?

How dare you waste your anger?

Don't you know that after rain

the flowers bloom bright?

Don't you know that during lightning

people stare in awe at the sky?

The rain slowly lessens with a sniffle

and the lightning slowly fades

and he puts the bottle down

and he puts his arm around

the rain and she forgets her tears

and all those years

where she'd cry

and he'd die

just a little at a time

while the thunder looks down

and doesn't make a sound

simply smiles

as the crops grow high

and the mountain stays dry

tonight.
