on a rainy night

silhouetted against the golden streetlamp
silver drops of rain sparkle to the ground
half a moon, obscured by veiling clouds
softly melts in the sky. and everywhere
the night tells of loneliness and harmony
sweetly mingling to find an odd unity
and dealing a strange peace to my soul.
in this drizzling light i see--reflected--images of me
feeling so small against this immensity.

and under the solitary streetlamp
a sight yet more heartwrenching
a man & woman, simply talking
pierces me deeper than this vast dark night
all the moon & sky& rain & light
forgotten--i pause in respect & wonder.
my once dull ache opens again, pressing
deeper, bringing tears, pulling my heart
into pieces once more.

tonight, again, his absence weighs me down
the rain soaking my skin
but the chill reaching my heart
the sky empties its heart onto the dry ground,
nourishing and replenishing as it loses its burden
yet what does my heart empty to fill?

Pray for You--Big & Rich

Sometimes when I sleep

I can see you walkin' back to me

And sometimes I wake up

'Cause I swear that I felt your touch

And emotions overcome me

And the darkness is so cold

Oh I light a candle, watch it burn

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Oh baby when you're gone, I miss you so much

I do the only thing I can do

I pray for you

Every minute of the day

I can clearly see your face

And every minute we're apart

Oh you know it just breaks my heart

I'm so lonely but it's okay

'Cause I know we'll be together again

Oh I light a candle, watch it burn

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Baby when you're gone, I miss you so much

I do the only thing I can do

Oh I pray for you

I pray for you

Oh I light a candle, watch it burn

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Oh baby when you're gone, I miss you so much

I do the only thing I can do

I pray for you

I do the only thing I can do

Please hold her and protect her

Until she's back here in my arms again

Oh and tell her, how I love her

And I'll be walking right here forever

Amen
