Could this, perchance, be how it rains?
Not within the clouds, but far above
A whispering sound, harmonic strains
Against the coo of the mourning dove
A river wide, flanked by verdant hills
Trees and fronds lay still in the breeze
In the distant, the calls of the whippoorwills
Telling tales, as assuredly, they tease
For they know the secret, hidden so well
When the banks of the river do sigh
Water pours down from a heavenly cell
Tis how rain really falls from the sky

A rumble comes from deep within
This is the start, it shall begin
A challenge, unknown, will I win?
I brush it off, forgotten
Until the beast does comes alive
I pray, this demon, I’ll survive
But in my body, it does thrive
Its will is born, begotten
A battlefield, my body owns
With each movement, creaks and groans
Surviving, yet these aging bones
Have trouble standing tall
I grab my shield, my mighty sword
Victory shall be my reward
Up to the top, I move toward
I refuse to let me fall

Darkness, drawn to light
She stands in silence, gazing
At the rays, that grace the night
Chancing they are moonbeams
She ventures, closer still
The night air, warm as summer
Yet, she could feel its chill
She waits, so impatiently
For a sign, to tell her why
The sunlight replaces darkness
She fears, the moon has lost the sky

Growing tired of the day
Awaiting, the night
Longing
For darkness, the Milky Way
My mind, emptying
Of daily matters
Weighing on my heart
My thoughts, scatter
And yet, I am alive
Wishing on the stars
Gathering the light
It awakens me
Ebony splendor
Surrounding my soul
Taking me places
Tis where I am whole
