rain

standing under leaden clouds

you pour over me

leaving gentle traces

across my skin

like a lover you enfold

envelope

filling the void

of dust and drought

tears of joy

mix with your essence

and stream down my face

soaked and sodden

naked and alive

trees surrounding 

an open glade

bringing fresh the odors

of earth and green

i stand alone

accepting your grace

submitting my offering

of sensual flesh

as the gods pour forth

in rain
