the rain (for connor) april 2014


I hope the rain cures you
cleansing first your skin and then within
washing away your sickness and pain
helping you to smile again
may the subsequent flood find you when you are lost
and it’s current carry you home
may the river left in the wake of the flood
moisten your skin and comfort your bones
I hope the rain cures you
and I hope that you become the drops
and I hope when you hit the ground a puddle forms
and I hope you grow and grow
flooding our chests with hope
I hope the rain cures you
and you become a river
always flowing
forever knowing that we need you
we need you to survive
and we need you to survive
