Something Beautiful

#vj69Ai #storyteller #something #beautiful #mylife #SomethingBeautiful “You were caught between the silence and the shout…you used to pray for anything to move” "Something beautiful" The sun is gold but it feels like lead The children laugh from somewhere far from my bed I’ve got everything a man could need to stay But there’s a diamond in the dirt I threw away My heart is full my mind don’t leak But I haven’t felt the sky come down to speak I fold my hands like a photograph in a drawer Waiting for a rain that’s been here once before And I don’t want to break this easy peace You know I’ve had my share of storms But this calm it wraps around my knees And I can’t remember what my soul looks like when it’s warm When I pray for the rain Just to feel something again Not the flood not the fury Just the first drop on my skin Let'it rain on me you crazy stillness Let'it rain on me you holy black There’s a diamond born of waiting When the sky comes crawling back And I don’t need the answer I just need the rain to stop pretending That I’m not already bending Toward the something That never ends “You were caught between the silence and the shout” --- --- --- “You were caught between the silence and the shout…you used to pray for anything to move” "Something beautiful" You'f* caught" next :-) “And for a moment just a moment you felt it That thing you couldn’t name "something beautiful" Your soul touched the sky The sky touched your heart And you were okay You were something else” "Something Beautiful"
