March Fourth

March Fourth
Today it rained
and the ground was awash with mud and slop
yet my spirit was not put down.
The rain smelled sweet
clean and new like a spring rain should with huge drops
that tapped me on my face and head like a childs fingers.
As the rain fell
I tilted my lips up as it came down kissing gently off me
I won’t move till I’m soaked to the bone.
I love the rainwater
the feel as is sinks deep into my flesh moving and churning
it flows into me like a life line.
