MARCH RAIN
My sweet March downpour
You became the storm
Scariest
And horrible
That I’ve seen,
Your thunder and lightning
They illuminated and blinded my being
ALONE
Swaying of lights that I did not understand
In the middle of the field
I had nowhere to go
There was no shelter
And you roared in my face
Like a stalking lion.
What did I do to you?
I wondered my times
While the drops of water
They ran across my face,
The night passed slowly
Between the cold
And a thousand questions,
You gave in
And when turning face
I only found
Devastation
But you were just a squall
Unexpected and foolish,
And I’m still here
Stop,
Ready to clean
The ravages
Of your stranger
And fearful step,
Woman of steel
Moon heart … I am…
