Flower washed by rain


The purity of drenched flowers
Washed clean by a night's rain - 
cleansed purity, regained innocence - 
You can return again.

Though your body might bear the mark,
Your soul the scar,
There is healing, forgiveness

Taking up the poison in itself,
Using what was good in it to colour your being - 
Give thanks to the One
Who gave all to make you clean
