I no longer seek shelter
from the downpour
of sadness ….
a byproduct of
My Abnormalities Normality
through acceptance
I bathe in the rain of
melancholy
until it washes away
and I resurface
from the flood
of remorse
that at times
fills my mind
with a notion of relief
by way of life’s ending ….
after such a storm
this cleansing
so to speak
I am moved
to seek solace
and find comfort
with those
who have experienced
in one way or another
the aftermath
the everlasting effect of
these torrent waters
and left behind to survive
with this need to share
to bring to light
out of the darkness
the reality of it all ~ creating
an atmosphere
of open dialogue
while walking together
as Team S.O.L.E.S
and other teams
16 miles
to raise money
for the AFSP
this united act
of shared concern
that showers down
the spirit of healing …..
peace out
