soul surrender

layers of smudged colours were dripping with rain
bowed to sunshine and did not resist quiet descent
sometimes a rainbow is painted in wax of a crayon
born from fear insecurity pain and heartfelt surrender

he resisted to reach out for wellies and brolly 
better to stand naked in the face of thunder and light
his thick skin dissolved under pressure the torrent
which became the only way to reach mind body and soul
