Cleanse me
They say there is acid in the rain
But I don’t feel that
As I stare up at the sky
And feel it cleanse me
They say I’ll catch a chill
As water courses down
Rivers dripping from my hair
Soothing my bare chest
They say the water will drown me
But I welcome its rise
Waiting eagerly
To bathe in its fresh clarity
They say storms are dangerous
But I can't help but run to them
Embracing with open arms
Their wild freedom
They wish the rain would stop
But I want it to stay forever
To dance in it forever
And be cleansed forever.
Nothing lasts forever.

But I welcome its rise
Waiting eagerly
To bathe in its fresh clarity
They say storms are dangerous
But I can't help but run to them
Embracing with open arms
Their wild freedom
They wish the rain would stop
But I want it to stay forever
To dance in it forever
And be cleansed forever.
Nothing lasts forever.

I’m a lover of storms too, and believe that earthly rain is cleansing; metaphorically... ☔️ 🌧
An awesome spill, RJM... 🌹
