I sit among the shadows
and darkness surrounding me.
I sit and hear the rain fall.

I feel the rains
washing my soul
cleansing the pain
in my heart.
I taste the salt tears
and rain mixing as it
cascades down my face
and over my lips

The thunder and lightening
have destroyed my
mind and being
in a brief moment.

I sit and feel the
rain fall and wash
the blood from my hands.

Jenny...how sad it is that you too feel this rain... most just cover themselves and hide indoors...while others of us feel and live in this wetness...maybe becoming stronger within that cleansing.

Michael... imagery has been a wonderous thing for me to put onto paper...helps me to bring the raw feeling forth.

Thank you .again.

The rain washes away my iniquities and the world's inequities, everyone gets wet.

I love those cleansing rains, want to send some across the seas to Australia?? Beautiful imagery, and I really liked the line 'and wash the blood from my hands'.
