(I know, I know, I left but Aimster wrote one, so I thought I would too!)

The two of us smell the rain
and stand waiting to be clean.
We wait and lift up our eyes
and our ears and hear tomorrow’s thunder
Do you hear the sound?
It trickles through the core
of a heart-only one heart.
Smell the petals and taste them.
We are not afraid to stand there
The two of us will cleanse completely.
and when the storm is over
one will turn and walk away in remembrance;
giving of her passion
and she will smile.
She will be released for she isn’t needed anymore.
The other will continue standing
and confront many storms
She will once open wholly writ.
Serenity will emerge with a
new birth.
Love will fill outstretched hands,
and she will fall to her knees
praying for understanding.
She will smile with a new perception and know truth.
and never be afraid, or alone again
For she smelled the rain
and followed the signs to completion.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Kathleen,

What do you mean you left? Not from PIP? We have to see more wonderful poems like this.

Kathleen,

Perfect ending my friend. And you know, you are never alone.

I love the storyline of this.  Very interesting, seems like it could be a really intriguing short film or something.  You give so much depth to this simple scene, all of the symbols underlying it really make the mind gape in awe...

Especially the ending, which left me very satisfied.  This is a very well-written poem.
