lesson

the rain came suddenly
from far away

hailing down on
new bridges built

from hope

it brought the wind
that swayed us back
and forth

weakening whatever
resolve we had

it's funny how
it all can turn grey

all at once

and no matter
what you say
and no matter
how you feel
and no matter how

you try to be

nothing keeps you
from the deluge
from above

fall down on me
cold fingers from high

teach me why you have to
hide the sun

i won't try to run
from your lessons
again
