rain on me world
torrents pouring from
sky

rain thru my hair
trickling down my
forehead
momentarily blurring
vision,
torrents pouring
on my naked back
exposed chest

do u see the rivulets
forming and tracking
the scars on my back
and arms?
rain down ur misery
world

do u see?
skin repelling wetness,
droplets unable to linger
or penetrate
ur rain is unable to
soak into my being,
warm as a winter fire

head turned upward
arms inviting the sky
impervious
to ur scorn,
rain down world
while u are able
soon my sun will rise
and vaporise the rain

ur dark skies
and bleak horizon
there is nothing u can
do to prevent
my being from rising
radiant
as the sun
