Germanic Past

 

While distraught my heart does shout 

it sound like an old Germanic past

trying to make its way back 

 

The  participle, it is actually an alteration of

my distract from words that echos in my head

to draw in different directions

 

My pains eat at me were I cannot find sleep 

I found myself so upset that it's hard to think straight 

My heart and mind are drawn in different directions

 

So I look to the heavens expecting to have hope rekindled

expect my prayers to be answered in wondrous ways 

this distracted season in my life will not last 

The spring of rain came pouring down 

and will come again .
