Waiting for me in the calm

I have walked ahead of myself, left something behind

I need to slow down and take hold of myself

My mind runs faster than my words ever will

Too fast to know for sure what crosses it at all

I'm lost somewhere between too many thoughts

Too many to comprehend, too many to understand

I'm roaming in circles inside my head,

can't find the center, cant stop it from revolving

And because of this turmoil there is something that has left me

It has escaped me, found a way out

And its safe out there, untarnished

My ability to express.

It's out there waiting for the storm to calm

And on its return it will tell the world what it saw

It will tell of the pain and torture it saw in a soul

It will tell of this story like no other before

Out there, watching me spin, 

I hope that it will stop as easily as it did begin

And as it watches me patiently I long for it to come back home

And help me slow this all down

But from where it stands it urges me to face it all

For before the sun shines, every raindrop must take a fall.
