Rain cleansing broken hearts as Aegean dawn awakes
Water healing our pain buried not forgotten
Flowing through the complex lives
Of everyone deep in sorrow
Tumbling words in a gasping gush of water
Fumbling “I’m sorry” in a muddy pool
Wind curling ferociously around feathered vine leaves
Thunder beings crashing through the panes
Beckoning get up get up GET UP
As swallows take flight in bursts of energetic black
The tall sky keeps throwing off its cleansing cloak
Beckoning and begging us just this once
To wash away the stains, just for today
Holding on to the promise of a brighter blue tomorrow
Remembering the delicious lure of a hot, honeyed sun
