Down My Future Rains

Down my future rains
Pouring reality upon me
Like a hard truth
Drowning me in my own regret
Flushing out the demons within my heart
Like a parched field I am irrigated
Like a remedy for my affliction
I am healed

Down my future rains
Showering me with my destiny
Cleansing me of my past
Washing away the sins of my youth
Purifying my heart with faith
With each lucid drop I am renewed
With each stream draining into the sewer
I am sanctified

Down my future rains
Soaking me with my fate
Drenching me with a profound awareness
A sense of enlightenment saturates my spirit
It bathes my soul in sublime accord
Like each blossoming flower I am quenched
Like the Mother Earth in all its glory
I am reborn

Down my future rains
With the calm coming after the storm
Bringing hope once again to my purpose
I float smoothly along the river of peace
I swim zealously in the waters of redemption
With each precipitating sphere I am vibrant
With every fiber of my being 
I am alive
