Calm in a Raging Storm
Oh
Would you look at that
The rain is falling
And there's a light show up above
Illuminating the sky
Oh how enchanting it is
How enchanting to see such wonders happening in the sky
Oh
Can you hear that
The pitter patter of raindrops on the tin roof
Calming me so
And the gentle rumble
Roaring through the sky
Oh how soothing to hear the euphonious sounds
Oh
How the storm feels in your chest
How all the different noises vibrate through your body
It’s such a strange
Yet pleasant feeling
Oh how great the rain feel on your skin
And how great the cold air smells
I just love the breeze
And how it reminds me of the seas
Just like the lapping ocean tide
And how it makes me want to lay on my side
And get just a little ounce of rest
An ounce of rest to allow me to breath
Breath once more
Oh how I long for a storm
Just so I can sit and think
Feel the cool breeze on my body
Oh how I need time for peace
So I can just be
Calm in a raging storm
All the Little Things
When I was younger I never brought much thought to all the things that life provides, for what was I to know, I didn't put much thought to anything. When I was younger all I wanted to do was spend all day having fun. I never appreciated the things that really mattered, but that's okay because that's normal for a kid, but when I grew older it hit me harder than I could ever imagine. Oh how clueless I was. I started to learn what it was like to lose everything I never even knew I loved. I learned what true sadness was. I learned how suffocating depression was, and I began to think it would never end. A full four years feeling life just hated me, it truly was hell. But then, one faithful day, she released me from her unloving arms, the depression that is, and I never felt so complete.
I quickly learned the Beauty of Life. I discovered that I love the beauty of nature, and all that it provides. I found that I love the way the birds sing songs and make me feel at home.I realized how the calming breeze kisses your skin on a hot summer day and how amazing it feels.
And I came to love the way the trees dance with such rhythm. I began to truly appreciate the small things in life and vowed to myself to never let these things go unnoticed. That was of course until life decided to start hitting me again.
I discovered true fear once life began to hit me again. Paranoia struck and I thought maybe, just maybe, depression would pay me another visit. But I thought back to the promise I made myself. Never let the small things in life go unnoticed. Appreciate everything that comes my way. So I did. I fought, for the only things that truly matter are the little things that constantly provide for you, and keep you alive. Things like the comfort your family provides you, or the breath-taking smile of a loved one. Oh I really love music. I love the enchanting sounds it makes, and the emotions that emanate from the strings of a guitar. I love the story the singer shares, for everyone to listen to. Everything said and done I love the beauty of living. I love the little things that life provides you.
