sometimes
the rain on my face
reminds me of you
and all the tears I never cried
only to be blown away in a fragment
of a convoluted prayer
that someone else was praying
and I wonder
just how much
of me got caught up in you
and what it was you wanted
when you said it was me
what you did when I went away
and left you there
the rain falls gently on my face
washing you away
giving me back
to myself
free
to give myself again
and pray my own prayer
the rain on my face
reminds me of you
and all the tears I never cried
only to be blown away in a fragment

and what it was you wanted
when you said it was me
what you did when I went away
and left you there
the rain falls gently on my face
washing you away
giving me back
to myself
free
to give myself again
and pray my own prayer

The painting is amazing Michelle and your writing is too.
I love you and I am thinking of you.
My Mom is in the hosptial with pneumonia and now my nephew is in there too.
Very long and busy and sad week.

I felt that right into my soul.
Very deep, yet freeing. Sometimes, I think, it is only your own prayers that really get answered anyways.
Artist and Incredible poet! Beautiful painting and words!! ;D
Love the poem, and how you associated rain with tears and freedom. Clever girl Ms Michelle!
Gorgeous artwork - but you know that I love your work!
