My latest poem was inspired by this, which showed up in my Facebook feed recently...
Word Shower
Flawless unscathed words of sunrise
spray from the faucet at morning break
intentions still unclear
through the fogginess of last night's dreams.
In search of communion
they trickle down into my scalp
over my face
into my hair
through the roots
down the tips.
Lathered up in bubbly foam
washing away the pain of yesterday
rinsing away the sand and grit
of a masterpiece not realized.
Cleanse, Clarify, Sanitize.
In search of meaning
they soak in and drip down
into my eyes
over my curves
through my fingers
down my legs.
Puddled at the floor
collecting the promise of today
facing the challenges of expression
of saying what needs to be said.
Awaken, Affirm, Revive.
Soak me in them
bathe me in them
steep me in them
They will saturate me
and I will absorb all their meaning.
I want to spread them on like lotion
each syllable, seeping into my skin
nourish me
stir me
move me.
Bring me to tears.
