Clean Water

I love

Couples walking

Hand in hand

Athletes training

Children playing

Babies in wonder

Sunshine in the park

Bright colours dancing

And then a sudden downpour!

I am tempted

To hide from it

Stand back and run

But there is shelter

From the worst of it

Under the canopy of trees

Solitude of the rain

In an emptied park

The prattle of it

Creating interior silence

Swans and ducks

At home

At ease

And when the leaves

Submit to the waters weight

I too must surrender

I bless the rain

Letting it have its way with me

And it is holy water

Ezekiel’s prophecy

I shall pour clean

Water over you

And you shall be

Cleansed

Baptism

Refreshment

Red Sea Liberty

Here is

Content happiness

Ever before the sun

Breaks through again
