A.J. McKinley - Lament

I caught a raindropp in the drought of my soul.
It was barren and forlorn
No hope left to hold

I caught a teardropp in the midst of pouring rain
It was laughing and joyful
No place left for pain

I danced with heartache where joy had once been
It was awkward and clumsy
No timing again

I danced with fate in the presence of death
It was glorious and soft
No blackness was left

I laughed at the sorrow of the fresh morning dew
It was silent and poignant
No flower is you

I laughed with the peace of destiny's chance
It was playful and coy
No place for the dance

I loved with a heart that had transcended in time
It was pure and honest
No other of its kind
