...Raindrops...

I love the rain!!! It is pretty much the bombest, most gorgeous-est thing ever in the world!!! It sounds amazing, for one thing, and also it smells amazing afterwards, and it feels amazing when you stand in it, and it's so much fun to sing and dance in...how much better can it get? Plus it looks amazing outside with the sky all cloudy and dark and the sheets of rain pouring down, and the raindrops splashing off the cement and the roofs, and running down the windowpanes...and it's even better if there's thunder and lightning cuz that looks even amazing-er!

And God like speaks to me so much through the rain, it is like the ultimate display of His power and serenity, but also of refreshment and renewal and peace. During a storm is like the best times for me with God because I can just feel His presence... Is that wierd? Well who cares if it is, it's my thing so whatever... Anyway, so those are my thoughts today.


Daisy

Daisy, give yourself away
look up at the rain
a beautiful display of power and surrender
giving us today
as she gives herself away

rain
another rainy day comes up from the ocean
give herself away
she comes down easy on rich and debt the same
and she gives herself away

let it go
Daisy let it go
open up your fist
this fallen world doesn't hold your interest
it doesn't hold your soul
Daisy let it go

pain give yourself a name
call yourself contrition avarice or blame
giving isn't easy
neither is the rain
when she gives herself away

Daisy why another day?
why another sunrise?
who will take the blame for all redemptive motion?
and every rainy day
when he gives himself away

let it go
Daisy let it go
open up your fist
this fallen world doesn't hold your interest
doesn't hold your soul
Daisy let it go

let it go
let it go
let it go
and you let it go, go
let it go
let it go
let it go, go
let it go
