leaden clouds obscure the light

     in the darkness eyes cannot see

visions distant are hidden away

     falling rain drops block the sight

rain drops fall stealing warmth

     and chilling wind carries away

hopes that might else be found

     within the beating of the heart

strength does weaken and fall away

     trembling flesh falls to earth

mud does simply give away

     supporting not forlorn hopes

distant lightning within the clouds

     rolling thunder here unheard

might that will change the earth

     bringing hope known not here

hope does flicker in beating heart

     strength of spirit is not quenched

vision turning lifting up

     to the heavens that are unseen

arms are lifted and hands cupped

     entreaties uttered from the heart

seeking of what might be

     a boon sought within the storm

wind does chill fragile flesh

     rain that falls cannot clean

clouds might steal the light from eyes

     storm cannot take the hope within
