STINGING RAIN
Manus Lunny

You paint me pictures that fade so fast
To try and fool me,
You give me words that will never last,
But you won't rule me.

I shield my skin from the stinging rain.
My eyes I cover.
I walk across these privileged fields
To the sound of the clumsy lover.

If you think you can hold me down,
I beg to differ.
If you think you can twist my words,
I'll sing forever.

You cannot change a mother's love for her child
With the ill you bring.
You're sending gifts that nobody wants
With the cool fresh winds of spring.

You change your shape and you change your face,
So I can't see you.
You travel from a different land,
But I can feel you.
