"Stormy Morning" by Diana Mary Sharpton

Introduction
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”  ~ John Lennon

This said it is Rock and Roll time. Music is a language and these are my words for this night. The artist I have chosen is none other than Robert Clark "Bob" Seger (born May 6, 1945) who is also a favorite musician. His music is hard-hitting rock, which speaks to the everyday person and their emotions. A singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist Bob is from the great state of Michigan USA and the song is title “John Fogerty & Bob Seger - Who'll stop the rain”.

It is raining
Days cast into the obscurity of night; it rains
Minding; darkness curves hues in gray light, it rains
Standing at the door deluge captures sight; it rains
Looking out a picture window, ready for flight it rains
He is sure there is more, but it keeps raining
The earth is soaked to its core, yet it keeps raining
Melancholy, he appears to me
Like the imprisoned bird begging to be free
Drip…drip…slow…then fast
Echo to a tin pan’s constant splash

Troubled not vigilant, adrift but alive
Embellished and trying to survive
Covering opinion it is raining; lost to suspect
In ritual, it just keeps raining meddling in aspect
He comprehends, the damp in explorations
Drip…Drip, leisurely, then rapid vibrations
In a relentless splatter
It really does not matter

As a muted night lapses into a miserable day
After all, it is in the indifference when it rains

I no longer accept blame without justification, allow disrespect without retort, accept manipulation to cloud the issues or truth without a personal commitment on speaking out concerning facts and finally I will not beat myself up for any of the above. Glory is God and righteous indignation!

Thank you for your continued support. I pray you are having a blessed evening or morning.
Peace and Love Always Diana
