Two Letters Apart.
Lightning Crashes - a song starts on the radio:thunder rolls
and rain falls like needles
and wind lashes, striking right to your bones.
A branch falls
a flower struggles to remain upright
water gushes down the gutters,
water seeps underneath doors,
water trickles down your face,
drenching your clothes,
drowning your spirit.
A line stands out:
'the angel opens her eyes...
pale blue coloured eyes
presents the sun...'
And you feel yourself travelling down Thunder Road:
that is, free, unrestrained - Glory Days.
This is the time of your life, as they say
and even when you fall
and your knees are scabbed
and our hands are bleeding
(even when your clothes are drenched and your spirit is drowning)
you remind yourself that this is life
this is beauty
this is a song -
magic and music are only two letters apart.
After the storm has passed
the tree will continue to grow
the flower will stand up tall and straight
and you will continue your journey.
*note* I know I got the line wrong :P When I was writing this, I thought it was 'sun'...not 'circle'...disappointment of a lifetime, man.
Feedback - I'm not too sure about the 'trickle...drenching'...just sounds weird...
