Dancing Between Acceptance

Acceptance is easy to feel It’s like dancing in the rain Whilst wishing for a drier deal If not for regret soaking me Acceptance would be right as rain Forgiveness an elusive cloak Better to endure cruel showers Practice patience with umbrellas Dancing between drops like flowers But traumas remind me I'm wet Rinse failures on cycles dour Make tornados to my regrets Love reminds me to awaken A symphony in a storm's eye Me falling notes to silent dread Practice resurrection in rains Crescendos rise in falling drops Till soaked grave’s finale still Learn to croon despite the rain Proclaim glory to divine waters Curse not cloudy skies feigned Hold back impossible downpours Or seek acceptance in the hour Practice dancing between tears Genesis 4:7 "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
