wet pavement burns the soles of my bare feet
drops fall, collide with my face,
wind whips my hair onto my back, stinging my skin,
a whimper grows slowly in the back of my throat
then escapes, followed soon by others
until finally tears fall
and mix with the rain on my face
fall to my knees with the hollow smack of bone and ground
lay stretched out, yet small,
lonely and scared,
waiting to be held and comforted
feeling so lost and forsaken
until i finally feel arms around my neck
then whipping around to meet them
and crying so many tears
but, at long last, feeling safe
and knowing that everything will be alright
