Yeah I guess the weatherman was            Was it not sunny just seconds before?
     right                                 I thought I saw the sun rays dance in
It rained a storm!                              the puddle?
                                           Were the weatherman words a songin
The storm was a full grown storm                the distance?
And in character came so suddenly,         To be hear but not to listen?
And Uninvited!
                                           The day of the storm
On the day of the storm,                   Poured not showered,
Seconds were hours,                        Roared not whistled
Hours were days,                           Put me on my knees
The day was a season!                      I through id never get up

Poor me I forgot to close the windows,     As suddenly as it came
I had just taken my clothes out to dry,    It went,
I was still counting on a good hair day!   I guess the sages were right
                                           The only thing that is constant is
                                               change
The day after the storm ,      Well yeah I guess the
My stiff joints became fluid      weatherman was right,
Off my knees I got up,         But so were the sages!
And watched the sun’s
   tender rays by the
   window

The day after the storm ,               ~END~
I chartered my long path
   home
From the storm to the
   beautiful day out
