STORM BREAKING

waiting for the rain to fall
watching the wind blow the leaves down
mood shifts left to right
sun filtered through the clouds
and i fall into
i fall into the season
wondering watching waiting
for this to explode
for this to drown it all away
driving down the road
letting the wheel go where it wants to
hoping i will find
the place i ache for
the place i long to be
in this mood shifting
in this world spinning
in this time that flies by
how it flies by
it flies by
waiting for the clouds to break open
watching for the thunder to begin
emotions swell around
leaves struggling in the wind
to find a place to land
to find a place to end their descent
waiting watching hoping
and let the storm break
and let the rain lash
and let the heart break
break open break down
break into the pieces held together for so long
so long waiting
so long watching
so long hoping
for spring to break again
