I was here too

Matt Starking

Haiku
The day sweeps away
For the nights to come
The clouds gathers
For the rain to fall
Being here is by natures call
Thou have come
Because it your time
So stand tall
The earth get shaken
Rules get broken
Forget your foes
And stand on your toes
For I was here too
And still here with you
