The Storm

Her moods changed with the weather 

Or perhaps they changed with the weatherman’s thoughts 

Yes, that definitely seems to be more accurate 

Think of a cloud that’s upset–no think of the sky 

That is hurt by the things it sees 

How sometimes people do things that are unkind 

How sometimes people do things that are hurtful to the earth 

And so the sky gets really upset 

Really angry and decides it’s going to turn things upside down 

Yup, the tides are rising, the storms a comin’ 

Hail hitting the pavement the way the baseballs hit the bat and then the ground 

HARD!!!

That’s how she got when she got angry 

For any little thing

Just as the sky might get angry and take it out on everyone 

Even the farmers that were trying to rebuild the forests 

Trying to give new life to the trees 

Everyone got it regardless of reason 

No one could understand why 

So it was a thing 

And as with many things, others learned to deal 

How do you deal with the storm?

You find shelter until it passed

That’s how it was with her 

Sometimes you would have to stay away for more than a day 

Sadly, it seemed like the storms were more frequent 

The patience (if there ever was any) was less

Like the contractions of a mother that is about to give birth 

It took less and less to make her storm 

It wasn’t right

It just got worse 

The time was coming

To leave the storm and find the sunshine…
