The Rain

by Charity Kahn

​

rain is falling
first of the year
it found us here
too early
 
I’m not ready
to be washed clean
I’m not ready
to be saved
 
where do
the words go now
where does
the love settle down
how can I live
without you

wanna wash away
in a little raindrop
wanna float away
in a little raindrop
wanna fall down
in a little rain
 
molecules wander
roots lie naked
need more time
to find the way
 
where is
it all gonna end up
where do
souls go to be reborn
 
to lose
the one true thing
to find
no way out
to never
forget

wanna wash away
in a little raindrop
wanna float away
in a little raindrop
wanna fall down
in a little rain
