SUMMER RAIN

I await the cool shower
That will quench life's thirst
That will banish
The hunger for light
The gasps for air
A summer rain

Water to extinguish
The scorching rivulets
Of red-orange flame
Originating in a hollow heart
Licking at my raw insides

The beautiful purity
Born of the celestial
Countering the living hell
That is festering inside

I melt away
Like the wicked witch
Finally free from hell
Free
