TO WEATHER THE STORM

Cloud #22 20″ x 24″ Oil on Beechwood, 2009

Amberra Wellmann

THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHEN IT FEELS AS THOUGH A STORM IS COMING

IT BREWS IN YOUR GUT, KNOWINGLY YOU FEEL THE CLOUDS ROLLING IN

AND THEN SOMETIMES SLOWLY IN A SPRINKLE IT STARTS TO RAIN

SOMETIMES IT POURS

IT'S NEVER USUALLY WELCOME, IT'S NEVER USUALLY PLEASANT

BUT LIKE MOST TIMES IT RAINS

AFTERWARDS THERE IS A FEELING OF CLEANSING

THERE IS A MOMENT WHERE YOU FEEL REFRESHED AND WASHED DOWN

THE CLOUDS ARE EMPTY AND YOU FEEL

THE NEXT DAY IS GOING TO BE SUNNIER

I HAVE POSTED THE ORIGINAL OF THIS SONG BEFORE

BUT THIS IS A FANTASTIC COVER BY YOUNG BAND TIM NELSON & THE CUB SOUTS
