The Rain Came

The rain came.
The rain came and cleared the cobwebs
 from the corners.
It made the excessive heat recede
It cleaned the air and made it apparent
what had been missing for far too long.

The rain came.
The rain came providing
a reason to sit still.
Providing an opportunity to sleep tight
Providing an excuse to stay inside and just be.

The rain came.
We had been waiting for so long
that its arrival seemed a fluke.
We had been waiting so long
we didn't quite know what to do
as it fell softly through the night.
As it increased through the day.
As it seemed to want to stay.

The rain came.
The rain came and made me happy

I'm Not Feeling the Fun

The tree is up

the lights are lit

carols are being sung

Cookies are baked

and candies have been made

the stockings all are hung

Packages are wrapped

and cards are written

to each and everyone

So why is it that

this holiday

I'm not feeling the fun?

It's not just me

I've asked around

and have heard from

one and all

It's Chirstmas time

and even still

I don't feel like

decking the hall

Tis the season

It's a good enough reason

but it's not

quite played it's part

Hope the Grinches

magical powers

can open up our hearts

Tired

Tired of the same old thing

Tired of doing it all again

Tired of wondering if It's right

Tired of wondering if it's wrong

Tired of  trying to do it all

Tired of  trying not to fall

Tired of being tired too

Tired is something that just won't do

Tired of doing it all again

Tired of the same old thing

Come...

Come on feel the noise
Come a little bit closer
Come dancing
Come sail away with me

Come back
Come back and stay
Come closer
Come fly away with me

Come in from the rain
Come into my world
Come home
Come go with me

Comr Monday
Come on over
Come out and play
Come see about me

Come
Come undone
Come together
Come with me
