Cleansing Rain

Look up and breathe it all in The sky is crying, exploding with a torrential waterfall. Inhale natures’ showering an unblemished symphony The black cloud’s unavowed weight lingers invigoratingly overhead Emotions ebb and flow with the moment’s immanent spirit of light; there is a liberating sensation that excites anticipation of the sky’s impending purposefully fated release ... Heavens… flood down holy water in a drenching act of baptism a merciful drowning in a river of celestial tears Dowsing rains wash over in a cleansing rain Refresh the dust and ashes the fallow summer leavings What once was a blossoming presence, evolving into a dimming cold winter reign... Now all that remains is but a shadow of what once was; hearts and bones nearly eroded away by the years of fallen tears To rinse away unrequited love’s stagnant inversion, washing away the invisible bonds that bind to the loathsome heavy ball of an unforgiving chain ... Know the cleansing rain is the spirit of love, washing over a malnourished heart of soul; exposed and bared naked to a remiss world Looking out with thoughtful eyes into the boundless universe Never to stop believing rejuvenating dreams course beyond this long road Imagine the storm clouds parting in the ominous threatening sky as an uplifting awakening light comes shining through; renewing the promise that surrendering to love shall renew purpose and it feels like rain... baby can you feel it (?)
