The Storm

by Chris Vine - Gemini

THE STORM

As i wait for the rain
To storm the power
My soul is mixed
With all this emotion
Happy, sad
Calm and hectic
All together

Time stands still
As it rushes by
I can't wait to feel
The first drop of rain
To wash away
The confusion of the future
This transition will swirl 
It's nervous swirl

My body is a vessel
For all I need to know
A place for love
As pure as it gets
A sexual encounter
Would pollute
My pure clear breath

I think of things
Of friends of moments
wait for the bombardment
Of fatal components
Feeling so small
It reassures me
That my place in the world
Can still be important

As a human so limited
The part of my brain
I use the path
I strain to escape

These things
Are destine for beauty
But destiny 
Needs a helping hand
I know I have the power
To be free
The will
Has been growing inside
The strength
Has come to ignite
The spark I need

To live on my terms
Through the sun covered trees
I find my dreams
Through my adventures
The lessons I've learned
Will help me discover
The live i really need

Away from pouting bosses
Away from doubting friends
To a place I can be with reason
A place i can really believe in

One day
I will truly say
I'm happy
With a smile
And a laugh
I'll look back at the past

The first drop of rain
Hits my expressionless face

And I Think no more

ONE MORE FOR THE DREAMERS
