PURITY

I wrote this poem after one of the best showers I had taken in a while. It was one of those long days that leave your aura grey & seeping through to those surrounding you then their assumptions begin 'you're mad at me' or 'somebodies on their period' which we all know never really aid the situation.  All I wanted was to take off my bra and head to the judge-free shower, and WOW! the minute I stepped under the running warm water, raised my arms and shut my eyes I begun this mantra 'I cleanse off all negativity'. It just felt like all my troubles were going down the drain and this silver stream of water was cleansing off  'all the darkness' from my spirit.

Purity

Tip-tap pitter-patter drops of aqua

form a cleansing stream

undulating down the pit of my palm

elegantly flowing across my waterfall rib-cage

landing rhythmically on my bosom with a pitter-patter pitter-patter

silver stream

cleanse this sinner

cleanse the darkness
