'Rain'                                       timothy r gates, 5/21/2014


Rain,
cleansing the mind,
mine,
so many baptisms -
one might work.
Thoughts,
obsessions of the mind,
mine,
convoluted penance -
"a work in progress," it is said.
Reflections,
remembers "the power of now,"
mine,
taunting and inspired -
both might win.
