Earth's Possesion
A cold shower upon the earth
Long before evaporated, now in rebirth
Drop by drop concealing my face
Wet trails of tears increasing their pace
Lightless day,
People experience sorrow and dismay
The pounding helps me think
The site makes their hearts sink
The flooding makes me curious
The thought makes them furious
They wonder, how can she shut out the sun?
She says, Dancing in the lightless day is fun
They demand, what beauty does she heed from the cold wet drops we pain?
She answers, the beauty in which you don't see blooms reality, it's rain.
