Washing the sins in the rain,
begging forgiveness,
you are plotting
a new adventure,
oh, restless soul!
You’re testing…
you’re testing such more of me…
you’re testing…
to explore hidden at root the seeds,
brought from another fates, constellations…
Who are they?
What lit their lantern?
What sacrificing gift
they've given to a melting pot
to synthesize in today?
Oh, omnipresent rain!
hold me tight in your flowing endeavors,
shapeless to
satisfy the thirst –
if you please - clarify an eternity.

A classic opening visually seen as wanting to cleanse oneself to start anew. This is what most people want but not many succeed. Nicely crafted humbird!
