Tainted Soul

Today as the rain falls

I disrobe and fall to my knees

Holding my face in my hands

The only way to tell the difference

From the tears and the rain

Is the salt on my lips

That I could taste

I kneeled for hours

Amongst the earth

Hoping it would consume my depression

An act of faith, an act of haste,

I do not know

But when I realized where I was

I knew something was wrong

But since I was already there

Felt the need to pray for the rain

To cleanse this tainted soul.

[Coyote Poetry]

good to clean the tainted soul. I tried many times to be clean of mistakes and sadness. I like the strong description. Allowed the reader to feel the need to be cleanse and free of sin and pain. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

Good imagery rain cleansing.

The rain is always a good thing to a broken heart. Tends to make me feel a little better. Nicely done, emotional write.
