raincoat has come off.
water is now touching skin.
poem begins afresh.

It is the removal of the raincoat that is the most difficult for me Cryptic. Once it is off the touching of the water is no problem and oh the cleansing of the soul is most delicious. I love my bath and daily shower. Lovely short my friend
Thanks, Soren. The shorts deserve their spot 🙏🏻🕊️
I definitely agree it is not about the length at all
Love it!
Glad of it🙏🏻🕊️

Thanks dear Friendship 🙏🏻🕊️
Reading this on a day when it's been Raining all Afternoon.
Nice one.
Oh, Spring is well under way for you, then 🙏🏻🕊
Depends on the warmth and quality of the rain...
Ah! Now we’re talking☔️🙏🏻🕊️
I've seen slow cold drizzle in London, torrential downpours in North Queensland and anything goes in Sydney...⛈️
My friend, I apologize for the delay…just came off finishing a major composition called The Shaman, another tone poem, and it took a lot out of me. This is minimal in the best way…each line doing its part, building to that quiet reset. The movement from separation to contact feels both physical and internal, and it lingers longer than you’d expect from something this short. Powerful write, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
oh that's exciting, not the exhaustion part; long ago i had a shaman adjacent phase. Wow. Linger long enough to continue on the journey that lay outside the bound of words. Thanks Tittu 🙏🕊️🤩
Water nurtures all, even the poetic heart. Nicely done.
Absolutement! Thank you so much🕊️🙏
