With face tilted upward
I face the heavens
The soothing purified rain
Washes through to my soul
The feel of it’s patter against my skin
Massaging me, soothing me
Seeping ever deeper
Cleansing as it seeps
Washing away sin and lies
flooding my insides with heavenly spirit
I can not, will not ever sin again
I am glorified, purified
I am as a saint
I am clean, devoid of all lies and sin
I am evil barren
I exist to love and spread peace
The rain stops
What once was
Gasps for strained breath
New life fills lungs once dead
Strengthening life emanates
Like a black rose
Slowly unfurling
Sin and lies grow
Filling themselves with strength of life
A saint no more
Evil permeates
Hidden in the shadow
Waiting, plotting
The lies flow freely
Given new life
They dance their wicked tango
Then the rains come……
