A passing lyric

The storm

I listen intently 

as I lay in my bed 

and take in the sounds

that fill up my head 

the wind blowing loudly

its power is real 

it gives off a vibe 

that all of us can feel

Its a lucky feeling

of gratitude and hope 

and a feeling of guilt

At how the needy can cope 

as they sit every night 

pelted with rain 

shaking a cup 

and hiding their pain 

that they don\'t feel 

the same feeling as I 

they don\'t even know

how it feels to be dry 

they\'ll sigh and they\'ll shiver

And give anything to be warm 

and they\'ll pray that one day 

they\'ll get out of the storm.
