torrential downpour, all night
washing away, everything
we worked for, created together
things hoped for, not yet realized, drown
in our own hopeless tears
the ground we planted our lives in, gone
with all lost, we still have each other
two seeds washed clean, waiting
for the morning sun
flooding us with hope, lifting us up
readying us for the new garden
where only new beginnings grow

Aurora: Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Gautami: I know what you mean. Do you know Amit Goswami is? He is a quantum physicist and a teacher of mine. You might enjoy what he has to say. He is OUT there though.

Sometimes I wish for my mind to be washed clean.

Floota: Thanks. I prerfer the metaphorical rain as well. Good luck with the real rain, which we got some of this weekend as well.
Nasra: Thanks. Indeed there is.
Pat: Thanks. This one is more about metaphorical rain than the wet stuff slopping down on us from the sky.
