Sad thoughts consume my mind again
A single raindrop turns into a storm
Silent thunders roar inside of me
A quiet chaos before it pours

Lightning strikes me with flashbacks
Then exits as fast as my light of hope
Leaving me a pile of burning ashes
Striking faster than I'm able to cope

And yet, the rhythmic pattern of the rain
Somehow, puts my mind at ease
Among the chaos of my clouded mind
The rain seems to sync with my heartbeat

Calmness settles once the storm passes
Its remains soothe my tired soul
Array of colours and puddles of reflections
Marks a healing from the night's cold

When boy meets girl he wants to whirl
When girl meets boy it could be a joy
When day meets night look out for some fright
When night meets day it’s time to go play
When up meets down it could turn things around
When down meets up could it be abrupt
When a horse meets a cow all I got is wow
When a cow meets a horse is sweet of course
When good meets bad will we be sort of mad
When bad meets good will it be understood
When thunder meets lightning it’s loud and it’s frighting
When lightning meets thunder it’s really a wonder
When dirt meets water you got yourself mud
When water meets dirt it could clean off the crud

Meetings like these happen every single day
Be ready or not as they are always underway....!

It's dark and rainy,
The clouds are caving in
I'm cold, more than any day.
Even you don't shine like the sun anymore
The rain doesn't go away
It's your light I crave for,
In the darkest hours of May.
With you I don't struggle
To put on a play.
But on and on and on,
Still my feelings sway.
