A Spiritual Cleansing
I looked out my window today
And I noticed that most of
the clouds in the sky were grey
So I knew that the rain
wasn’t to far away
And it’s usually on days
like today
That always seem to get to me
So I did something
That I have never done before
And it was something that
I did think about for awhile
And I finally decided
to do it anyway
And when the rain started
falling down from the sky
I took all my clothes off
And I grabbed a bar of soap
And some shampoo and a towel
And I went outside my back door
far away from prying eyes
So that no one could see me
And I took a shower in the rain
And it was such an incredible feeling
And one that I have never felt before
Because a peaceful easy feeling
came over me
while I was showering in the rain
That was so rejuvenating
Because it felt like
A spiritual cleansing
And when I finally came
in from the pouring rain
All of my burdens and all of my sorrows
that I had felt earlier in the day
just seemed to fade away instantaneously
