If You are, Then I am


If you are a waking dormant volcano,

Then I am plains paved with blossoms.

 

If you are an eruption,

Then I am coming to life with your spewing kinetic energy.

 

If you are the whipping waves being thrashed about by Poseidon,

Then I am the calm current here to call you home.

 

If you are plaid,

Then I am the polka dots being paired by a little girl wanting to dress herself for the first   time.

 

If you are Venus,

Then I am intuition inching away from innocence.

 

If you are the umbrella that shelters my storm,

Then I am the rain that you need to thrive and grow.

 

                        The same rain that solidifies the lava before it takes more lives-

                        The same rain that blooms the blossoms rebirthing the earth after a season of                                              death-

                        The same rain that feeds the whipping waves and the calming currents-

                        The same rain that inspires a little girl with its drops and streaks-

                        The same rain that hid your loss of innocence.

 

If you clarify the waters,

Then I muddy the waters.
