Free Reign

Racing for shelter, we defy the rain, our hearts a-song
   The heavens open, we slosh, slide and splash along
Shaking our hair, water everywhere, we are free
   To laugh, to live, to love, to be ourselves finally

Drenched to the marrow, we no longer care
   We're alive now, soaked but thriving in downpour's air
We see who we are, the water's washed away our veneer
   Baring exultant, triumphant souls, who passion's perils now dare

This takes me back to when I was a kid, splashing around in the street's puddles with friends. Thanks for the great memory.

This is from a re-pictured scene of long ago---when I still had some passion. LOL. Thank you so much for you kind comments, Kim. Best wishes, Gershon
