Holding the Rain

Rain falls gently in the night
Cold droplets on my skin
Washing me clean of the world
Worry and fear rolling down
Dripping from me
Into puddles of memory
That pools at my feet
My face turned to the sky
Welcoming the cleansing sky
Clearing my mind of doubt
It cascades down my back
And then it is gone
Bathed in the open air
Feeling both old
And at the same instant
Brand new in every way
The breath drawing in
The smell of the storm
Lingers in the atmosphere
And in this moment
I am suddenly so free
And suddenly so small
Yet I am everywhere
The drizzle falling across my hands
And I give myself to it freely
As it gives itself freely to me
We meet in an impossible embrace
I hold the storm
And the storm holds me

Bosom of Fantasy

Snow falls in the dark night
Like a blanket to hide the world
And maybe it can hide me too
Conceal me from the bright day
Seeking shelter under the moon
As it causes the snow to shine
Hide me in a world of dreams
Where your touch is real
And your voice whispers in my ear
House me in those hallowed dreams
Where fantasy and illusion
Mix happy and free
Keep me from the world outside
Where the sun melts away those visions
And let me rest in your arms
Until I'm ready to face the world again
Shelter me from all that's real
In the bosom of fantasy
Until I dream enough
To finally make it real
