Rain falls
into our lives
like grace,
rinsing years
from folded hands
and damp prayers

Only folks who keep
secrets understand
they have been invited
to share in its serenity

I believe it.

i'd rather read:

"rinsing years
from folded hands
and damp prayers"

whoa:

Yes. I can see that change. I don't mind splitting hairs, I just don't have many left

do secrets breed serenity? I suppose if you are keeping secrets then someone shared them-- or are the secrets our own?

[68degrees]

katydid:

Yes. But only when they remain secret. Once out, no.

Maybe. We probably have more personal secrets, than secrets between people, don't you think?

Thanks for looking here and asking.

i appreciate this swish of a cleansing
the open invitation for catharsis
there for the taking

"swish" is such a nice sounding word...almost a wish, but just that much more.
