My soul laments in sorrow I cry out for relief Despair my constant companion How can I gain surcease An end to pain An end to worries An end to loneliness When will this end I stumble on; my spirit low It seems worthless to travel on Tears fall down my face unseen As raindrops mingle there How ironic it seems This sudden storm Matching my gloomy mood Grey skies; greyer spirit Quickly as it comes, it clears The storm clouds blow away Looking at the sky I see A rainbow glistening there Somehow that incandescent sight Reminds me of the promise old It lifts me up in tender hands Warms me through my soul Now I walk with head erect An energy filling my strides Seeing beauty with newfound joy I thank God that I'm alive Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
