Spring Rain

by @ebowmas

The rain falls Washing away illusions Old "truths" shown to be flawed Old "safeties" hiding a threat Gone, the hidden threats of yesterday The rain falls Watering the foundations For a new truth blooms And new safeties shown With the false securities gone The sun shines Burning away the lies For they grow brittle When shone under light of truth Shattering at the slightest touch The sun shines Feeding the truth The tulip-blossoms grow More real as more time passes Whilst under the revealing sun A helicopter seed Seemingly lifeless Falls to the ground Just to lie there Abandoned without its twin A helicopter seed So full of life Falls to the fertile soil Waiting for the rain To grow a maple strong The old world Shown to be flawed Calcifies and shatters Dissolves and washes away Until only the true remains The new world A world progressing Sends roots into the remains Seeking out that dissolved truth Letting a new world flourish
