Dark clouds open intermittently
To reveal the blush of a red sky

Columns of light lance the opacity
Of a murky horizon
Threatening to shine through

Refusing to be deterred, the rain lunges
Mingling with the light of a spring morning
The darkness of its own dawn

As a child I fell into a deep depression
Opened in the sand

Fear overcame me

I cried, and clawed at the walls of the pit
I could hear the tide growing closer
The water sputtering over shale and sand

Until at once I was lifted
Into the steady hands of my father
Chuckling softly at my fear

Just before the rain begins

Dark clouds open intermittently
To reveal the blush of a red sky

Columns of light lance the opacity
Of a murky horizon
Threatening to shine through

Refusing to be deterred, the rain lunges
Mingling with the light of a spring morning
The darkness of its own dawn

As a child I fell into a deep depression
Opened in the sand

Fear overcame me

I cried, and clawed at the walls of the pit
I could hear the tide growing closer
The water sputtering over shale and sand

Until at once I was lifted
Into the steady hands of my father
Chuckling softly at my fear
