The Shower Of Thoughts

From the swirling pool within the heart
the shower of thoughts often flows,
rising from the waters of love or sorrow
before moving through the body
in the silent strokes of such intense sensation.

Finally streaming down the face
as the sounds of the soul,
they form the droplets
that come out of the spirit’s well.

Leaving behind the muted signs
of the shudders and sniffles
when the dam has burst
so the lips can no longer restrain
all that was walled away and unspoken.

When it ruptures
released is every tide that was inhibited
and out comes the truth that was held within.

Always so cleansing it is wash
for when it falls upon another
where it sinks into that life
how it soaks so completely.

Until you can’t stop the flood urgency
to utter I’m sorry or I love you
while swimming in that bathing
of unveiled reality.
