A Heavy Storm Heads My Way

a heavy storm heads my way
but all i want is sleep
as I watch the darkened trees sway.

in the growing winds that last all day
it takes all my strength to keep
the heavy storm that heads my way,

from showing on my face as i lay.
my gaze so fixed and so deep
i watch the darkened trees sway.

all i can think is “come what may”
i’ll be waiting, as you try to sweep
the heavy storm that heads my way,

you try to blow it far away.
i just might make you sow and reap
as I watch the darkened trees sway.

leaving a bitter taste, i say
“look before you leap”
as the heavy storm heads this way
i watch the darkened trees sway.
