I was depressed again. I seem to write a lot when I'm depressed.
In The Blink of an Eye...

As I stand under the showering rain
And feel the cool wetness pour down onto my body
I stare up into the gray sky
And see the lightning crashing into the clouds
As if it would burn them down to nothing
In the blink of an eye...

I wonder what would happen if I were to disappear
Into the streaming rain
In the blink of an eye...
Would they care?
Would they miss me?
Would anyone cry?

Like the angels do now
And soak the world as if its a towel
That’ll just absorb the water
And everything will be sunny again
In the blink of an eye...

I listen to the rains “shhhhhh”
And pitter- patter
Like it wanted everything to be still
And quiet
Well if that’s the case
It got its wish
In the blink of an eye...

The world is so still
And not a sound may be heard
With the rain falling down...

Angels, please don’t cry
Don’t flood the world in your tears of sadness
And depression
Please help the world to be
Sunny and cheerful
Again

Let the mockingbirds sing their happy songs
And let the children frolic in the
Beautiful sea of flowers
That shall shower the earth
Instead of the rain

Let the smiling sun peek through
The puffy cotton-candy clouds
Let the booming and crashing
Of the thunder
Finally stop
In the blink of an eye...

And take me away
To a place with no worries
No problems
Just peace and love
And endless sunshine
Smiling through the world
In a pink-orange sky
That shall never drop angels tears
And shower the universe
In the blink of an eye...

Because the world is so still
And not a sound may be heard
With the rain falling down
