Walk On

Wind on rain

It blows through trees

It makes them dance.

I'll wait on the edge

For a boom of thunder

The flash of light.

Drops splash against my skin

Eyes closed

I'll walk on.

I find a quiet place

Somewhere deep inside

While somewhere I fly.

Wet clothes cling to me

But I don't feel them.

My heart is in the lightning

As it lights up the sky.

My scream is lost to thunder

As I walk on to die.
