Stand in the Rain

She beckons me by tapping the window
Lightly hitting the roofing tiles as she
Prances to the edge of roof before leaping
To the ground below, making a light slapping sound
Before she howls as loud as the wind at me

"Come down," She calls as she taps the window again
"Come down and play." I head the call as I step through
The window as the wind runs its fingers through my hair
Tossing it back and forth as I lower myself to her height
Staring into her gray eyes as she smiles at me.

"Will you dance?" Confusion flashed across my face
Causing a gentle smile to blur the color in her eyes as
Cold finger tips gently touched my face,
"Will you dance?" She asks once more before beginning
To move as she sways from side to side
Her feet gently gliding over the ground

She dances before my eyes keeping me
Hypnotized as she gently reaches out with
Icy fingers grabbing a hold of heated skin as
I slowly begin to step back
"Will you dance?" The question is whispered
As she stares at me before I slowly move
Cooling limbs into action as my bare feet smack
The ground as I twirl

My vision blurs as I feel the rain fall against my face
Hearing her gentle laughter in my head as
I feel the drops fall against my skin before descending
To the ground below to cover my feet as it cleans
The earth underneath my soles filling my nose
With the scent of freshness

I slowly stop twirling as I fall to my knees
Letting the rain wash over me as I pray for it
To carry me away to some far off place
Not caring that my limbs have grown long since cold
As icy as molten tears scald my face as longing
To shed the mortal coil that is restricting me in place
Being denied the chance to disappear leaving
Behind the life that holds no chance of becoming as
Clean as the ground under me

The only thing that I am thankful for
Is that the rain gently embraces me as
She hides my tears from the world.


Its been raining where I live for the past two days. I love rain because it makes everything clean but sometimes I wish I could erase my past like the way rain does dirt on a sidewalk but it won't happen.
