Lightning Crashes

[avad]

That song has been playing in my head for days.
Because: San's father died unexpectedly(accident). Words hit like a brick as i skimmed through emails and messages and bulletins. and tears flowed in instant empathy imagining just a smidge of what she and her mom are going through. Walked outside...overwhelmed by this life thing..that is so fragile and uncertain. And then a call..my friend Kimmy finally giving birth to a new daughter...Bianca Taylor.
and so the song plays softly in my head.
and keeps playing....

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
