Rain and Remembrance

I found a place where the rain will fall forever
Where the crystallized droplets reach the outstretched branches and the leaves that fall onto the peaty ground
Where the rain consumes all thoughts, feelings, and emotions

You come back home soaked in sadness begging for the rain to take it all away
Like fingers and a hand, the rain, a personified being taller than the sun, reaches out and out—-

To touch base with your head of messy hair, your scrunched up big nose, and your skinny-nothing eyebrows
It touches far deeper than you're forehead, deeper than your heart

Far, far, far, down, down, down
Scratching the insides of your stomach lining
It touches your soul
Even when the fury takes hold in your gut, lapping at the soft bits inside, the rain calms you

It envelops you
You are painfully cold, frigid.
But you'd rather be freezing cold than feel anything at all
While the rain sinks into the material of your sweater
Let the Rain CONSUME YOU.
