I Want My Life

Rain cleanse me

Thunder beat my heart

Lightning strike my soul

I awaited this moment for years

Wash away these dreadful tears,

Recharge my life

With your rain

Your thunder

Your lightning

So that I may regain

What I have refrained,

I want to dance in the darkness

Under the stars

Bathe in the sun

Beneath the blue sky

I want so much more

I want a life

That I can endure.

Woo, 'lightning strike my soul', strong words those! I hope this means your getting past your rainy day blues, really enjoyed this one Tarry!

[Tarry Franck]

I know I'll have my moments - after all I am bi-polar as some of you know - so ups and downs are just a part of who I am - but will do my best to stay strong. Thanks Frieda :)

I loved the focus on the healing power of nature. I imagined a person standing in the rain arms up in the air just releasing all their problems. This was wonderfully written.
