The touch of raindrops
On my face
I try to taste

Feather light touch
Caressing my skin
I try not to cling

A sigh of wind
Runs through my hair
I try not to shiver


Can I be at fault
For I prefer nature
Instead of the assault
Of some humanly creature

I fled into the woods
In search of protection
I stood beside a river
And gazed into my reflection

In water I was drenched
Upon each sound I flinched
My hands were tightly clenched
Of blood my clothes still drenched


Sunshine trickled down my body
Soft and warm
Until dawn
Then, I was gone...
