There once was a time for sloughing
what we had was gone
dampened by infidelity
You said I did nothing wrong
No rain fell there to rinse away
aching arteries
barricaded by loves locked chainsheart and soul still cindery
There was not enough rain to wash
away fallout left
letting particles cling about
irretrievably bereft
Along came the rain to erase
old ways of feeling -
refreshing downpour, detailing,
waxing, waning, then healing
Now hovering on my shoulders,
a white cloud holding
no rain, for the heart, mind and soul
together are enthroning
For dversepoets.com it's Open Link Night
