A rolling sound of thunder echoes from your soul
Storm clouds on the horizon so dark and cold
Stillness surrounds you, yet you expect turbulent winds
The gale that can sink a fleet, or cause a world to end

You clutch the life jacket called love and dearly hold
Yet wonder if anyone is aware of the pain deep in your soul
You hide it so well with a mask of sunshine painted on your face
But plod through life hid in your work, never losing faith

You've marched to a different drum beat as you daily live
With so much love and passion you were willing to give
Lovely you are, and many have yearned for your touch
But all your attributes, like an unused book gather dust

Your frailty from burdens you bear, loom heavy on your mind
Break down walls that surround your heart, stay gentle and kind
Send all your problems on heavens high wire, and remember my name
When woes of life deluge your soul, dance with me in the rain

To dance in the rain is a favorite dream of mine ... (and a few times I did realize the dream). I was attracted by the title and what I found makes me want to ask a question ... are you a clairvoyant?

Ok, I am barefoot and ready ....

Powerful write, it does show great sensitivity.

Love,
Margherita

Paul - I've danced in a warm southern rain, and it's just grand. Hard to describe it, but you have in this writing...
