Tender Rain

 

I don’t know how long this will last
or where it will go
It may quickly disappear like smoke from an extinguished candle
but my heart is awake and I feel alive again
dreaming of love again
there is an ember beginning to burn in my heart
igniting feelings
rolling though me like claps of thunder passing through the sky
bringing the tender rain that covers me
washing away my grief
giving birth to a new life
