yellow rain
sky pudding
mixed with more and more insane
high wind so shear
creating fearful rivers of pain
such perpetual flooding
overflowing blocked and desperate drains
inundating dangerous ditches
overbearing both far and near
all this righteous bluster
making us flustered and crazy
purple rain falling
so blindingly clear
now nature is mistrusted
while tomorrow seems so hazy
earth spirits are calling
wrestling with our crazy dreams
these nightmares full of fear
each red careless rain
every stream of terror and torment
so many cyclones it seems
ever present low pressure storms
raging after each high pressure rain
never a blessed mourning drink
always strong poison
at its best
so it longingly seems
our horrific dreams
along with such
disparaging refrains
breaking our will and hearts
falling again and again
we stick the knife in
to see what comes out
just like all that
yellow and purple
every red drop of rain
what is it all about
how crazy and insane
then we find out
we can fly
those things
we do
those things
we try
we ask
how far and how high
then soon enough
trying time delivers
another rainbow sky
feasting upon some colourful dessert
until pressure once again divides us
signaling another red alert
then refined God inside us
signals divine certainty
encouraged by blessed death
followed by courageous rebirth
succeeded by deep breath
