  1. Standing in my grave, grey clouds all around.<\/li>\n
  2. Life of signs and keys, with me in the ground.<\/li>\n
  3. Shiver in the cold, blinded by the dark;<\/li>\n
  4. Silenced voice and soul; empty, lifeless heart.<\/li>\n
  5. Then I feel a drop fall upon my brow,<\/li>\n
  6. Second, and a third\u2014downpour on me now.<\/li>\n
  7. Rain washes away caked-on grief and pain;<\/li>\n
  8. As the raindrops cease, I\u2019m made clean again.<\/li>\n
  9. Ling\u2019ring on the air, scent of wash-ed earth;<\/li>\n
  10. Blossoms from the trees, fruit before their birth:<\/li>\n
  11. Drifting through my lungs, richen every breath,<\/li>\n
  12. Cleanse inside my soul; life replacing death.<\/li>\n
  13. Mighty came the tongues rushing through the trees,<\/li>\n
  14. Whirling \u2019round me now, mitigating breeze.<\/li>\n
  15. Wind whips through my hair, wicks away the rain,<\/li>\n
  16. Wraps my body whole, comforts and ordains.<\/li>\n
  17. Sun upon my face, close my eyes to bask.<\/li>\n
  18. Burning, tingling rays melt away the mask.<\/li>\n
  19. Dipped in flaming pow\u2019r. Dove perched on my heart.<\/li>\n
  20. Wave goodbye to end, turn around to start.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
