Let It Rain

Let it rain....

Let it rain,
we’re still out, running
with muscled thighs
and cannot be caught.

Let it rain,
while we can still enter
a million battlefields
alert and awake
and elation filters through our skin
to ring in young ears.

Let it rain
before the earth takes credit
for each breath
and repossesses
what is his
by birthright.
