Poem of the Day

Here's a little poem for you. I wrote it 4 years ago. I think that it encompasses how I feel today. Somehow - sad and caged within a moment, but wishing to be washed clean of the stress and heavy frustration - and thus break free. Or maybe it's that I'm just thinking about the rain that we've had for a couple of days now. Who knows. :)

So Like Rain...

so like rain wash me away
through gutters and drains
down storm pipes
away from the middles
to the very edge

like streaks across your
glass let me settle and cloud
the world from your view

let me conduct
the melodious drama
of the chorus of wipers
chanting to some deity
prayers that our ears
cannot hear

let me wash
over you as you
run to avoid each drop

you did not see me anyway
so like rain wash me away too
