The Rain

I stood in the rain today And i looked to the sky I stood in the rain today And i let the drops hit me Soak through my clothes / and wet my soiled skin I stood in the rain today I stood in the rain I stood under the rain today The drops made their way down through my hair Down my face through my lashes Making black trails as they went... Eroding anxiety Through all the contours of my skin Eroding years of pressure Hidden in the stone mountain of my face I made a face to the rain today I cried at the sight of the clouds I laughed at the sound Of the drops on the dry earth The water digging a ditch It filled me with temptation A sudden urge and resolve to kick up all the bad feelings Throw them down and be on my way I said i stood in the rain today I stood in the rain I could start a war with a pen and paper Then i could end that war with a handful of empathy I could start a war with a couple of evil thoughts Then i could end that war with a dance in the rain Keep going back to the rain...
