When The Rainbow Blows
My breath quivers in my throat
And I feel cold
My heart feels shallow
And I feel a thousand miles away
Is it two steps home
Or will I go on forever
Is it raining now
Or will the whole world be flooded
My feet slug across the stony tar
My glasses are wet and foggy
Will dawn ever come
Will darkness infect my soul
The hours pass by
Has the Sun set yet
Or is it just the flame in my heart
Extinguished by the sands of time
Lightning stalks like a flower
Was it this all along
Thunderheads spinning webs
Catching light like flies
The rain never passes
But the clouds drift away
And I see a rainbow above the horizon
Birds flutter into a brand new sky
I sit down on a bench
And breathe a breath deep but happy
As children run by squealing with joy
Kites and balls in their hands
And I think about the emptiness of sorrow
Breathing peacefully
As trees sway in the breeze
Branches sighing gleefully
And I think about the beauty of this world
Wind blowing like a prism of colours
Sparkling and glimmering
In the brilliance of sunlight
My breath quivers in my throat
And I feel cold
My heart feels shallow
And I feel a thousand miles away
Is it two steps home
Or will I go on forever
Is it raining now
Or will the whole world be flooded
My feet slug across the stony tar
My glasses are wet and foggy
Will dawn ever come
Will darkness infect my soul
The hours pass by
Has the Sun set yet
Or is it just the flame in my heart
Extinguished by the sands of time
Lightning stalks like a flower
Was it this all along
Thunderheads spinning webs
Catching light like flies
The rain never passes
But the clouds drift away
And I see a rainbow above the horizon
Birds flutter into a brand new sky
I sit down on a bench
And breathe a breath deep but happy
As children run by squealing with joy
Kites and balls in their hands
And I think about the emptiness of sorrow
Breathing peacefully
As trees sway in the breeze
Branches sighing gleefully
And I think about the beauty of this world
Wind blowing like a prism of colours
Sparkling and glimmering
In the brilliance of sunlight
