Sad Skies....Clearing

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com

oh, the pain of life
we are stewed and steeped
in it
unable at some point to determine
where it began
why we allowed it
how to shed it
sad skies above her
leaving a lost life
leaving a lover

I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing

oh, the unfairness of life
why can we not just be us
easy and free
chains and challenges
weigh us down
whose chain, whose
challenge
where....is the key

we, our own key
the.... key

I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing

long ago I lived this similar
pain
in similar chains
with similar challenges
and I know deep in my soul
those sullen skies
so dark and heavy will
clear
the beauty of the blue
will return

on the day the clarity
is birthed...blue....
beautiful

I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing

here with a hand
to pull you up, lady
love
here, so close yet I can
not and will not offer rescue
you have asked me not
to
an even deeper truth is that
I shall not
for it will only hinder
you....
really

this.... the devil that keeps
me awake
late in the nighttime
darkness

I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing

clear, they will
after they become so dark
that the only place to go
is deeper inside
deeper than ever before
so deep that it takes you to the
beauty of the blue
that waits for you way
over there
on the other side

and I shall wear the rainbow
smile
created in the
reflection of the turmoiled tears
you will have shed
in your own
clearing

I, here, knowing and hearing
as she sits under sullen sad skies
waiting for their clearing
