When You Cried with Me

When You Cried with Me
5/6/13

I felt it in the wind today
and deep in my somber soul.
I felt it when the clouds collided and tore the sky apart.
I heard it when the thunder roared
and the livid lightning crashed.
I heard it when the searing sky matched my heavy heart.

I saw it when the once still sky
grew dim, dark, distressed.
I saw it when the sleeping streets flooded like my tears.
I touched it when the storms of heaven
came quickly crashing down.
I touched it when the earth was shaken, along with my faith and fears.

I listened to it when the whistling wind
wailed and howled all night.
I listened to it in the patters of pain on roofs across the city.
I knew it when the branches broke
and dreams were ripped away.
I knew it from your piercing pain and when you cried with me.
