Wash over me.
Rain down.

You might have uttered these words once, or you may pray them every day…
And though the human eye cannot see the watermarks on the inside,
Imprinted, You are.
Watermarked.
Whether etched like sand by the flow of the tide,
or carved like a canyon by years of flood…
I know
the inside of your soul
must be
exquisite
