i can smell the change
it looms over me like a rain cloud
ready to burst
the pressure drops
then it all falls
no rain no life
i sit in the wet
cursing it
wishing i were dry
i wonder what its like
to be in a warm place,
depressed in agony
everything you own
is now gone to the elements
destruction of your evidence
now you are free
there are no things
to weigh you down
free to change
vocation,
mood or town
no one can stop you
there is nothing to take
unburdened with responsibility
now your mind is open
clear of worldly goods
all is viewed objectively
you have made a choice
wisdom over wealth
sacrificing health
i can hear the change
it flows in like a calm river
happy to host
it cleans and nourishes
more than just you
know rain know life
i sit in the water
splashing it
happy that i'm wet
i wonder what its like
to take life for granted,
calm in connection
