Oh Rain

Oh rain
will you fall
on my shoulders
and soak into my
tired skin?  Will you
soothe me now?  Will
you wash away the dirt
and soil and ash and mud
and baptize me in your
grace?  Will you hold
me and fill me with
the scent of calm
and the perfect
smell of hope,
will you fall?
Will you,
oh rain?
