Drops of life

Dirt, dust and dread - washed away

Dogged, defensive mold

dissolved

The self - rusty, faded, abrasive

- tired and weak,
 - exposed, and

coated with reassurance and spirit

Drops of life, me, 

fearlessness:

Bring-it-on!

*

To them,

I was sad and it made me happy

To them,

that is all to bathing in rain.
