Some Kind of Supernatural

Beneath this waterfall I stand...Beneath this water flow I cry...Beneath this flood I wait...What I wait for I do not know...this water I wait in is supernatural. It seems to be relentless as it removes the markings that once stained my body. These marking were self inflicted and other inflicted. For the most part these marking are my own handy work. Well, not so handy really...more devastating than anything! Doing my best to detach from the jaded things this life has delivered.
The waterfall continues to remove these marking...making my skin as porcelain before my eyes. What is this water flow that I wait beneath. I'm a bad girl and now I am perfect...what? I'm ugly and now I am beautiful...how? I am dirty and now I am clean...why? I proceed to inscribe, with permanent marker, these things on my flesh, but the flood of water...it keeps pouring over me. My flesh made spotless, blameless and pure. I scream at myself words of hate, pain, rejection, disgust, but I do not hear them. In shock at the appearance of perfection in this water. What is this waterfall? What is this liquid pouring out over me? Beneath this waterfall I stand...Beneath this water flow I cry...Beneath this flood I wait...Why I am waiting I do not know!
Now, a dark place before me with even dark midnight black spots to barely be seen...they are more present than ever in the past. This place dingy and full of pain...this place not under the waterfall. Where am I? Where was I? What is going on. This cold place is causing me anguish...the dark spots cause tears!
Then, a cross brands each dark spot...the cross covers each dark spot...the cross replaces the dark spots...the cross labels those painful places...the cross renames those experiences... the cross inscribed upon my heart!
There before me a flower...to be more specific a pink flower with rounded petals set before me. It bends and sways with the wind of the fields...it is fragrant with the heat of the noon day and it is kept! Hence, I am kept in this 'some kind of supernatural'.
The waterfall...the cross...'some kind of supernatural'...these two things I do not fully know, but these two things fully know! These two things are 'some kind of supernatural'.
