Downpours

I long to feel the rain cascade on me,
Washing away the grime of life, setting
Me free of failed responsibility,
Impatience, anger - cleansing me, and letting
My soul fly out into eternity.
I do not wish to die; merely to sail
Beyond myself into an astral sea,
Mysterious and open, blankly pale.
I want to end frustration, and to be
Emptied of weariness and doubt - to rise
Above the everyday, prosaically
Boring world I live in - to surprise
Myself for once. I want to feel the rain
Soaking my body, wringing out my brain.
