Thunderhead
You’re on my mind again
and as I watch the thunderhead close in
I hear your heavy heart utter
“I’m sorry, it’s just..the spark is gone…I don’t feel…”
your breath fell like cold showers on my forest fires
that proudly burned for the whole world to see
but seasons change with or without us
only to be relived
and I’ve missed you
like the earth misses the rain
knowing you won’t stay for long
I close my eyes and I can still see
your jet black hair and evergreen eyes
returning my longing gaze
like two magnets pulled apart
So I’ll stand beneath the anvil
of this desert thunderhead closing in
and beg it to strike me down
with one good bolt
reduce me to ashes
and let me be born somewhere else

I know this feeling—such deep loss! You express it well.
