Rinse & Cleanse

On the scuffle of soles

Marring the aftershock

Tears blend in two

Splitting like the center does

A wrap of thunder clasps the temple’s door

A shroud of wonder befalls the crutch adorned

Flip the switch

Flip the switch

And let the heaven’s dry (let the heaven’s weep tonight)

They say

That crying is cathartic

That you should get it out (get it out)

Guess you have to hit the bottom

Before you even attempt to climb away

Guess you have to all but die

Before you can learn to crawl again

Perhaps, perhaps it’s then true

That when the water begins

It’s at this point when, the healing mends

The holes in you, (making you whole again)

Maybe, just maybe then

There’s something to be said

For the sad songs and elegies

And the way their sorrow

Makes you forget your own (comforts your soul)

Rake it away

Take it away

         Let the wash rinse and cleanse

         Allow the grief to go

         Let the teardrops flow

         Until healing distends
