i like the way the rain pours 
so beautiful in the wind
5 minutes past 
gone again 

we miss whats gone so quickly 
what once was and what will never be
we ask ourselves, gently
why are we here
what’s it all for? 
jump straight to conclusions 
god, hope, an illusion

maybe we’ll never know
and that comforts me
all i know is who i am
not who i will be

what is here now
not what could be

the gods i worship
the earth i sing to 

saying thank you
that i’m here

saying thank you
that i was 

saying thank you
for all that breathes
into and around me
when i can’t breathe
for myself

this life is painful
and my heart aches
but the sun
that kisses my skin 
as i write these words 
sustains me in ways
i could never explain
even when i try to
