Cleansing: Request

I see a flicker of light
at first it gave me quite a fright
I hear the rain on the roof
so i decide to close the book.

I open the door
that faces the shore
to see that it's merely, just a storm.

I step outside to sit in the rain
in a swing, hung by a chain.

The lightning flashes
and the thunder cracks
as the rain pours down on me
I feel as  my sins were gone; I'm free
