Of Being and Nothingness

I let my face rest in

the rising rain water

My muscles were relaxing

Drops fell on my neck freshly

The rain fell light and even

 

As I laid I sank in

I wanted to be gone

Sink into the nothingness of matter

Be of and separate of nothing

I was content with complacency

 

But you pulled, you did not fight

You showed me how great it was

being more than you were

How truly eminent you could be

The way we make ourselves

 

You cried out, "Look

we are clean now,

the rain has cleaned us"

So I rose and so did you

"Let's be of and separate of each other"
