Relic of the Rain

Some days I am lightning I am crashing in Shouting out across the static Other days I am an arrow Depending on the bend of the bow The blowing of the wind But some things I never question Hard rain or an unexpected lesson I just breathe 'em in You were a summer storm Right out of nowhere And when the light hits your eyes just right I see a relic of the rain that brought us here Some days play back like movies in my head I point out what I could have said That might have changed the ending Other days read like the first page of that favorite book I've read a hundred times Still can't wait for where it's going 'Cause the same things are holding brighter light To shine on what's always been Leave me too surprised to second guess it You were a summer storm Right out of nowhere And when the light hits your eyes just right I see a relic of the rain that brought us here This morning in the sleepy kitchen Sunlight was dancing I was lost in my head In a crowd of everyone I've never been Then your laugh cracked a smile across the quiet I breathed deep and grateful to be reminded Of everything that has shown up when I can't find it On my own You were a summer storm Right out of nowhere And when the light hits your eyes just right I see a relic of the rain that brought us here
