Soul Dance Poem by Shirley Harrison

It's been raining for a long while now
last night, I did something
that I've always dreamed of doing
I got naked and I danced
in that rain, the rain
that's been pounding my roof
for weeks, day and night
pounding the grass
pounding the trees
and the ground, still warmed
by last summer's presence
It was 3 AM
just me, the rain and
the great, yet tired moon
and of course... my soul
which has just sprung back to life

maybe all she ever needed...
was a moonlit shower.
