Sodden Heart

Soft misty pellets
float on unseen wings
till they reach the earth
below, dispersing, each

molecule adding it's own
ounce of energy, goodness
to hardened layers far beneath,
even to the core, to the lava flow,

as if to douse the fires, bubbling,
spitting, igniting in their flow, toward
the light where an exit is paramount, overflow
is inevitable,eruption is a necessity, for continuance

Yet, the verocity of such eruptions, burns deep where it
infiltrates, in seconds scorching  exposed particles of raw
skin, wounding deeply, forever altering a pathway that once
lived beforehand, trails of scar tissued membrane emerge from

a solid mass. On and on the droplets fall, like tears from heaven
desperately seeking to extinguish the fiery furnace, heal the wounds
soothe the pain, put out the fire! Is this rain sufficient, to reverse the curse, inflicted upon the bearer? If not, then a heart will remain,

Sodden!
