If my head were a top hat
I'd lift it off and welcome you
for this shell that I reside in
this shell of flesh is dry
and dust consumes me

yes
I would lift it off
so that you may enter
and fill me with your flow
like fingers you would caress
every dry crevice within me

refreshing me
like the first morning wash
you would fall over me
pasting my hair to my face
my clothes to my body

and form tiny rivers
down road's which will
become your world
your future
for where will your
beginning end?
where will it land?

if my head were a top hat
I'd lift it off to you
you would land within me
filling me
my body
a yard glass
right to the very top
yes
oh yes

I welcome you
rain

I like the concept of dehydrated people refreshed and swelling to rebirth. very origional and well done.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

The title brought me in so good. I loved it and the concept was so creative. Great work!

of COURSE it's not just about rain.  the giveaway lines are:

"down road's which will
become your world
your future
for where will your
beginning end?"

don't try and convince me that you'd address mere rain in such philosophical and personal terms ... oh nooo, one can read a lot into this metaphor maree - whatever one chooses in fact, which is why it succeeds

Methinks top hats become you...and Maree? If you turn them upside down? They collect ALOT of rain...HUGS to you, with a giggle for Philip on the side....
