Healing Rain

My soul needs to heal

from self-inflicted wounds

caused by being human

As I drop to my knees in an open field

of fresh cut grass

the clouds roll in with haste

and the sky darkens

Zeus feels my inner turmoil

He sees the agony etched along my face

as I beg to him to be healed

“Please, I beg of you to wash away the invisible scars

that keeps me up at night.”

Lightening shoots across the sky and

kisses the soil just a foot away from me

“Please…I have no more tears to give! Heal me!”

Thunder roars as the earth beneath me shakes

Zeus’s tears begin to fall

coating my face

healing internal wounds

having mercy upon me.
