 When Lightning Plays On the Keys of Your Sorrow

Forgive me when lightning plays on the keys of your sorrow

and there is no time for everything you say

to be laid here at my feet.

Still, know that I am here when your inner light

of wisdom catches dust on the frame of your heartbeat

and I will listen through your tears.

On those days when life feels like a flying bird,

do not feel sorry for reaching out

to enlightenment as your lover, please know,

that I understand your need.

There are miles of bedlam that I would love to turn into flowers

on those nights when your sea tumbles restlessly

and those dragons of madness make you burn

the sticks of your destiny.

Instead, I will hold you in my heart

so that you can hear it beat for you,

a breath apart and still the same.

We will drown our souls together

in our own tranquility.

When you hear the call of honor weeping to the heavens above

while leaves of scorn fall upon your head,

I will stand beside you

help you roll away

what stands in front of you.

Let me be the force that drives you from the shadows

of all heartache,

when lightning plays on the keys

of your sorrow. Even though sometimes

there is no time for everything you say

to be laid here at my feet,

always know that my feet still remain here,

next to you.
