Rain

Rain 4/4/2014

While we live

There is hope

And when we try

We can grow.

The days drag by

And time slows to a stop

As the atmosphere of man

Weighs on our hearts.

It can make you sad

And it can make you angry

But patience is the hardest thing

That I have ever learned.

Everything can seem pointless

And even the greatest of efforts

Often go unnoticed

And unappreciated. 

But if we want to reach higher

We must do so

For the right reasons

And in the right way. 

The day we notice

Is like a break in the clouds

As a beam of light

Strikes our head.

Hold on, to that moment

And pray that you

Do not forget

Because that is when you

Can start a journey

A journey that has no end. 

How would we be different?

If we knew

We had forever

And how would we plan?

To spend it. 

If we believe

Then we know

That all of this is nothing

But a fly in the ocean. 

I did not get here

In just a single day

But in the midst of living

One in a million. 

I went to sleep

And then I got up

Another night

And another day. 

What I do not have

I will

And what I have lost

I will receive.

What is coming is better

Even if we suffer

And all that is wrong

Will disappear. 

Horror comes

And so also does evil

Perhaps not in the way we feared

But in a way

Twice as deadly. 

But all of this shall pass

And that is why

The world is burning

Because sooner or later

It will fall apart. 

We will know that joy

And it will only be the beginning

As everything and everyone

Fall back into place.  

We will taste

The finer wine

And we will plan out

Our forever

Excited to learn and love

Without limit or reservation.
