Maybe It’s Time
The rustling of the leaves outside
Keeping you awake at night
Do you blame it on the tree?
Or the winds in the sky?
The crashing of the waves outside
Waking you too early to rise
Do you blame it on the sea?
Or the winds in the sky?
If a tsunami takes your home away
Is it fair to blame either sea or sky
Or does the culprit in the ground lie?
But what about the earth where you stand
Was it not the fire beneath
That had a hand?
The same fire burning inside you
And dotted across the dark heavens overhead
Maybe it’s time
To put your blame to bed
