The realization comes slowly That I don’t know what is real I don’t know what I want Don’t know what I feel The weight is heavy upon me Holding onto a sinking stone With the knowledge That inside, we are all alone And in order to be healed We have to stand in rain In order to pay our penance We have to endure the pain The water washes over me Washing me clean I am starting out fresh again Somewhere in the in-between Until I feel the need again Moving from left to right, I feel the need to be cleaned By the rain tonight |

I think when our 50% chance of rain materializes tonight, I shall stand out in it, and think of these lines. Chances are, I'll feel better for it. |

I responded to another writer a while back, there could not have been Easter Sunday without Good Friday. This poem captivates that at least for me, Thanks again. [This message has been edited by walker (edited 05-01-2001).] |
