Soothing

Gentle rain

You feel

Like soothing balm upon my soul

Putting out the fire

In hurting places

Restoring me to peace

And to a softer reality

That remains when illusions dissolve

With the deeper realistion of love

You awaken

Quietly

In the depths of my soul

Remembering

You can often bring pain

But remembering

Remind me

To stay present

What is past is past

Yet

Grief of loss

Lives on

Transforming all our lives

In ways which

Make us travel down

Fathoms deep

When we return and resurface

We have glimpsed darker truths

Than others will ever know

That is when

Gentle rain

Falling down

Replenishes our soul

And grants us

With our tears

A restoration

Through acceptance

Of peace
