The clouds have cleared
When I arrived in this place,
The darkness falls
Where did my strength go?
I retreat, feeling lost,
I need you to rescue me,
Though the clouds linger,
Tamyka Bell
And tonight I will see the moon
And the shimmering stars.
Tomorrow, will I see the sun?
I can sense its arrival already
And its glow has not yet faded.
The rain had set in,
But now it will leave me in peace.
I segue...
And surrounds me.
I doubt and fear.
I feel more alone than ever before
As they return to haunt me.
Why can I not fight?
But, more than all of that,
A deep sorrow cuts right through me;
Inexplicable,
Burning,
Yet so quiet and forlorn.
Dazed and confused.
I cower without the shelter of faith,
And then it rains.
The sun had been to bid me goodnight,
But somehow these heavenly tears
Would again flood my dreamscape.
Reassure me, protect me;
As the lightning strikes and thunder roars
I wait.
You make everything glow again.
You make me special again,
And I send the storm back to my ocean.
