Unnatural Disaster

An unnatural disaster defining me
and defying me
this irregular beating of my heart
out of time, this rhyme of mine fell apart
once so sweetly beautiful

In the prayer covering my soul
let the hard wind blow
but I'll bend with it like a willow
not weeping but for her amber glow
once so sweetly beautiful

I've been moving slow
like a hurricane, taking its toll
on the friends I left back home
on the love left in my bones
for her memory

Oh she gathered me up
and carried me into the light
she bathed me in her clear spring love
and held me together through the night
she introduced me to happily ever after
and began to heal the wounds
caused by unnatural disasters

Now I'm standing here
in a wide green field
the cold day reflecting in my eyes
the hurt I've caused, the tangled lies
have left me vacant but hopeful
for some new chapter
to open up for me
close the book on unnatural disasters
and turn leaf over to see
there's so much left to being me
so much soul left in my soul
once she made me feel so sweetly beautiful

I've got to move on now
like a survivor of a flooded town
flooded with torrential tears
weighed down by these fears
if anyone will welcome me
welcome me with their love and laughter
healing these wounds of unnatural disaster
I pray it'll be okay
as I'm coming home
and I know I'll never forget her amber glow
I'll grow from it like a willow
the branches sway to let me know
I've still got so far to go

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

beautiful!

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art
