umbrella


 

leave the umbrella 

and walk with me

dont let the rain
stop you now

watch as others
rush by

afraid of the rain?

not you nor i
so lets go beyond
the limits and jump in

with you already wet
let go of the umbrella
you hold dear

and grasp the rain
with who you are
not from beneath
your umbrella.


it will not go away,

that umbrella
stopping the rain
from reaching
your heart

but soon it will
disappear

and when it does

i will be there
to let the rain
fall upon
you again
