No Umbrella

Never asking for permission,
  always being sure

His head was held firmly,
  his mind had stayed pure

Never seeking your acknowledgement
  or umbrella against the rain

His words exploded thunder
  —truth pouring down again

Love your poem, Kurt. I'm happy you didn't end it with DOWN THE DRAIN.
