"Country Storm"
Blue velvet skies wave to me
From a distance they say good-bye
Sitting in my room, watching from my window
The whole world provokes my senses
It looks so open, endless, and wild
The smell of a storm blows through the air
Lightning strikes in the distance
And it's faint glow on the horizon
The birds cry out in the open fields
And the crackling of the air surrounds the house
But it still seems so silent and still
It seems as if time froze
No movement on the roads, no noises from the barn
It feels like there is something hidden, unseen, and unknown
Waiting and lurking in the blue velvet sky
