Coastal Storm

[for Shusli]

There's a storm a brewin' on the coast.

There are words to be said and silence to be had.

There is calm and there is wind that could push sand through your skin.

There are cold hard rains whose clouds will open up for the sun to shine down through brief windows to the earth or for you to look up at night and receive a brief glimpse of the stars.

There are times when I feel like saying nothing when everything seems to have been said.

There's a storm a brewin' on the coast. Pull your hoods up tight around your heads. Find shelter from the cold rains. Laugh with your friends by the safety of the fire. Open your doors to strangers.

It's simple to Love one another.
