Batten down

When the first rain drop falls I hear a lull, the dam is gone Bring it on, batten down Wear the waves wrapping round You who is barely there Time trickles everywhere Wrapped in stars, stretched in skin Breathing loss with each begin I tell the universe no But that sticky bitch won't let me go East to west wind begins I turn my head and drink it in. When the first rain drop falls The furrow deepens, fever calls Blood hums a battle beating Ushered in from fiercer seasons In the dying rays of day I trace the scars Of love won and tamed Wild hearts are downed by pain When the first rain drop falls I hear a lull, the dam is gone Bring it on, batten down Wear the waves Be the force
