Rapidly



in the dark of night when the winds are blowing rapidly
a shadow chases after a mystery
i dont know what the rabbit see's...
but i can hear its footsteps in the midsts of its misery

like the bluest water rushing by the river rapidly
it cries in the middle of the forest, it's so sad to see
maybe its been away from its mother, it had to be
i hate for it to be another orphan suffering tragically

the seconds and the minutes seem to be moving so rapidly
i chase after this rabbit without a chance to stop and breathe
seem to have forgotten why i came, like the feelings we get after dreams
but i believe in destiny and the universe has carried me

in the dawn of a new day, the rain came pouring so rapidly
i came across a revelation that began to shatter me
its a heartbroken mother rabbit, trying to find her children anxiously
but her babies have left the nest long ago after the winter freeze
