Part 1 Coming Storm
We breathe in the fumes
like oxygen
we burn our air
in the ashes, we all fall down
in the wake, of disaster
who is servant?
who is master?
We give the pain
we drown the sane
A storm is coming
the signs are clear…

Part 2 The Storm’s Eye
Sitting in the storm’s eye
blaming the butterfly
that flapped it’s wings
a change of winds
in my bubble I am peaceful
but I am not at peace
I am falling to pieces
like that old Patsy Kline song
the answers are gone…
Caught in the storm’s eye
living the lie…

Part 3 After the Storm
Echoes of what was
and what is now lost again
the storm left all these signs
it was here
and the memories burned
my heart to ashes
my soul to cinders
yet there are rainbows
signs of hope
after the storm
