IT'S OK, THE STORM HAS PASSED. BUT...

In the rain I stood

In my knickers and my wellington boots

Thunder growling and rolling

And the night by the lightning stolen

And how did that feel?

I wasn’t feeling then. I was thinking, thinking

COME ON UNIVERSE!! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME?!

Did it smile upon you? Did you hear what it was saying?

It fucking roared

And its smile lit the sky

Then – I was feeling.

Then, I was feeling, I.

And the rain washed pain from my boots 

And mud from my core

And it poured
