rain as the joyful tears of the gods

transparent shirt on my skin, eyes closed and pointed to the heavens.

cleansing the mental exhaustion, the sweat and tears from my face.

the natural is freeing and brings out the beauty of our shared souls,

sacred space and time cups my heart in her hands and whispers

all will be well.
