Rumble before a roar

 


We gentle types

have a river

surging inside,

with rolling,

crashing currents

urging our thoughts on.

Turbulent skies,

filled with clouds

all clashing for space,

building up charge.

To unleash a blinding rage.

The brightest fiercest

blast of lightning,

direct to the page.

 

We may seem

slow, cautious,

uninterested, lost.

But inside. My gosh.

It's a whole wall of sounds

vying to get out.

Trying to make themselves heard

over the other sounds rushing 

and pushing about.

When someone hands us a mic and says,

speak your mind, say your truth,

give us your view, let us feel the world within you.

We let the waves push aside,

and let our message start to shout.

Little ripples become waves

as the pulse rushes out.

 

To some we appear brittle,

fragile, frail and weak

and sometimes we find it

hard to speak, we work better with

a book in hand, our minds connect

with the words within,

then lets them flow into you.

But don't let appearances

cloud your mind. Obscuring the view

I've walked through hell,

and from those fires

I arose,

with a strength burning from my eyes

and the power of a thousand suns

sitting in reserve just behind.

 

A rumble, before a roar,

a slow trickle before a downpour.

I see you. With your words so raw,

a war going on.

I know this song. I've heard it sung.

It's one I've sung to myself

when things are wrong.

We are the song that is sung.

We relight the fire in the sun.

I've seen your skies, heard them call

from deep inside. Into your rivers I'd fall.

Happily. I'd dive. To be by your side

with our minds 

forever taken on a magic boat ride.
