Afraid of the Storm
I was you, once—
Afraid of the Storm
I was you, once—
afraid of the storm.
My mother told me
it was just the angels
bowling.
Now it’s you afraid—
and I’m not going
to tell you that.
I’ll just hold you
and tell you that you’re safe
until the storm passes.
Sometimes you don’t need a story—
just someone to sit with.
Or maybe
‘Everything’s gonna be all right’
is just the best story
that there is.
