My thirst found no escape. My heart found no shadow.
As hope seeped slowly from my soul, delusional
thoughts began their inevitable pervasive search for
reality. From what could only be conceived in a

giving softness of love's rain bringing revival and

It cleansed me of the dust of dissolution. As its
