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'll echo that thought.  A very nice write, PK.  Flows beautifully.

When the rain comes my friend. . . I will walk with you. . .

You always seem to know don't you???  

Excellent. . .

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.

like i am so fond of saying,
we all got our demons.
everyone's got somethin to atone for.

i know just how you feel.
