How merciful God is
He rolls the clouds along
Before a downpour comes strong
There is silence before the fall
So there is time to run
For cover
For all
What's there to dread
When the light goes red
Why worry
Why react in fury
Aren't we given
A lengthy pause
To reflect on one's life
All triumphs and flaws
See the red light
Is not to be feared
I don't understand
Why people cower in terror
Cry out in frustration
The world spins
There's no stopping that
Well, maybe, except
A red stoplight
It's coming for me
That feeling I dread most
It's coming closer
Someone hold me
And don't let go
It's overwhelming
This feeling inside
Like a hurricane
In the night
Flowers
I bought you flowers
Bought the whole flower shop
For you
Chocolates
I gave you chocolates
Wiped out the whole grocery aisle
For you
Balloons
I sent you balloons
Cleared the old man's shop
Only for you
