Cleansing Rain



... waiting for the pending winds of change to blow the perfect storm's clouds past ... A long awaited metamorphosis ...


Look up and breathe as the crying sky explodes
Inhale natures’ showering an unblemished symphony
The oppressive black cloud hanging overhead lingers
Emotions ebb and flow with the moment’s 
immanent spirit of light
A freeing sensation excites anticipation
of the sky’s pending fated purposeful release ...

Heavens… flood down in a drenching act of baptism
by a merciful drowning in the river of celestial tears
Torrential rains wash over me like a cleansing rain
Cleanse the dust and ashes of the abandoned traces
What once was a blossoming presence,
Evolved into a foggy cold winter season ...

Now all that remains is but a shadow of what once was,
Life was nearly eroded away by the years of fallen tears
Rinse away unrequited love’s stagnant inversion
Washing away the invisible chains that bind
To the loathsome heavy ball
Of an unforgiving past ...

Know the cleansing rain is the spirit of love
Washing over an exhausted heart of soul 
Left exposed and naked to the world
Look out with thoughtful eyes into the universe
Never stop believing the dream is eternal...

Imagine the storm clouds parting in the dark sky ~
As an uplifting awakening light 
comes shining through
Renewing the promise 
that surrendering to love
shall be destiny’s purpose ...
