When one says a wall of water One thinks waterfall Not the heavens opening up Upon our car The windshield wipers work Overtime to deal As the world turns dark As the rain falls Speedometer slows to crawl Inch by inch forward Time loses all meaning In the grey movement But then sun shining through World turned bright And just like that it stops As the cloud passes Looking at the wall of black Retreating in the mirror Moving on moving forward Off to send someone to a dark little world All of their own
