Nothing lives
In this place
Silence
Disgrace
Hiding out
Beneath the rocks
Until the air
Fills with the sounds
Of rain drops
And it's amazing
How it feels
Until it stops
Pressure
Building
Never found
A living spring
The scintillation
Crewel mirage
Dies at last
When the clouds of relief
Open up
And it's amazing
How they feel
The rain drops
But sometimes it pours and pours
The flood waters thrash and roar
Thundering as they swell
And I am overwhelmed
Then, fast as it came
Torrent of mud and rain
The storm cloud disappears
Again the sun beams sear the earth
Nothing lives
In this place
Failures
So hard to face
I'll dream of the sounds
Of cascading falls
With vibrant life
That doesn't rely
On rain drops
