morning rain

morning rain

misty morning’s on me,
i pause and turn around.
view the valley before me
standing on my hill, alone.
you’re just a call away
but i must be strong today.

warming like the sun,
the heat of your embrace
wrapped so tight around me-
sans ultraviolet rays.
a cool, wet summer it was
unseen by me, so blind in love.

clouds pass unseen.
thunder rumbles on.
lightning strikes around me,
like your silence, searing and strong.
breeze blows harsh.
can i survive this storm?

where once we revelled in rain,
tangled in passion and prose,
around us the storm grew wild,
within us the tempest rose.
it's from these thoughts i run.
i bid relief, like rain, to come.

you blew in from the south
a hard, hot wind.
filled me with your warmth
then drifted away again.
I stand here, in the cool morning rain
and wash your memory away.
