One night in a storm

One night in a storm I stood on a hill.  The world around me like a spinning windmill
The rain lashed my face, whipped my hair tore my tears
away
No one could see, no one would know. All alone on the hill.
I cannot go home I screamed to the wind
My house is all changed
my heart is all changed
My hope is now changed
My futures ordained.
He's gone I cried out with a longing so deep. Did I want him to stay or to go.
numbness took over
my hair now knots my shoulders dropped
I slumped to the ground.
the world swirling round.
Suddenly just as quickly the rain stopped the pain stopped the sun broke the clouds...
a meadow lark sang on the first passing breeze.
My hair was still wet, my heart was still torn. My legs had not met the path that was worn
but I sat, I sat in the sun, in the midst of the rain that now fell so sweetly in sunlight set deeply back in the clouds
a soft fluid sound
the earth sent its scent
the rain cleared away, the grass glistened in new lovely dew.
A rabbit came out
a bird flew on by
the clouds they dispersed
the world refreshed, everything changed. A new day a new time
I sat
I sit and I will not go till he bids me go
though I know not where,
