New Wind To The North (Apr 20 2004 23:53 GMT) - I have weathered the storms,Created in my heart,Battering against my brain,Telling myself the rain will cease.After such storms,I sit frozen,Shivering in my soul.Waiting, sittingIn a puddle of Self-Doubt,Why do I do this every time?But as I sit there,Collecting my sensesAnd regaining composure,I feel the gentleness of a breezeWashing over me, drying my clothes.It comes to me unexpectedly,Bringing scents of Lilac and Sanity. |
