Rain, Ruins, Regrets

I could have walked

Through the pebbles along the path

But, it was raining

And, I was too afraid to get wet

I had the nerves to soak the thunders

I had the urge to amaze the wonders

The storm needed my nod to roar

The clouds needed my applaud to pour

My eyes had the fire

To burn the rain

My arms had the power

To put every evil’s eye to vain

You should have seen the way

I used to roar

It used to echo

From one shore to another shore

I had it all

Yet I failed

I know, I could have

Challenged my fate

Fought with the waves

Moulded the irons

Defeated the lions

But!

It was raining

And I was too afraid to get wet
