rain

freedom rains in this place.

and it's falling on my face. falling on my blemished face.

drenching my soul, and slowly but surely filling to make me whole.

freedom rains.

and it's falling onto my hands. my over-protected hands.

slowly but surely breaking them into use.

freedom rains.

and it's falling onto my feet. feet that have not walked enough to even say they've walked.

and so i hope this freedom i feel raining breaks down all my walls. walls of complacency and apathy.

let me dance in this rain. let me jump and spin as i sing just whatever this freedom rain puts in my heart.

"life is a song for the heart that is free."
