Washed Clean

by Robert Daniel Long   Oct 19, 2010


I rise up
From this mire
Onto my knees
My hands stretched up ward
I feel the dirt melt away
And I can finally see
As the rain
Washes over me

My heart sings
In beautiful melody
Those of love and friendship
As we slip away
Into the quiet
Where dreams are made
A place not filled
With filthy desires and abandon
For it has been washed clean

It's a beginning
And the skies fill with birds
As the sun desperately
Tries to poke through
And shed it's light
I feel anew
As the rain washes over me

With nothing between
You and I
I rise up
From this mire
Onto my knees
My hands stretched up ward
I'm waiting
For the rain

    Your words have conveyed a powerful message. I like how you took lines from the first verse to end the poem. Overall it is well written. The only thing I would suggest is to take out all those ........... They are distracting and I don't think they add anything to your work.
