WALK LIKE THUNDER, WRITE LIKE RAIN

I walk like thunder,

Write like rain,

Until  the world

Just falls away.

A fragile heart,

Broken skin,

Beneath the steel

I hide within.

Cascade on me,

Oh summer sun,

And let in light

Where I've begun

To die and fester

Mould and rot,

The husk of me

That time forgot.

I walk like thunder,

Write like rain,

I try to stop

Familiar pain

From taking hold

From getting in,

From overtaking

From within.

But I can’t win

This race in time

My heart a clock,

Its wings divine.

I tread upon

These angel wings,

I wake and stare

And still can’t sing.

For all I need

When I'm in doubt

The only thing to do,

But shout,

Is walk like thunder,

Write like rain,

Again

Again

Again

Again.
