rain
i love the rain.
i love to watch it fall. and land on the hard concrete ground with a splash, like white forms dancing, a steady soothing rhythm.
to see the ripples from each raindrop colliding and blending into one another.
to feel the rain upon my skin, feel the cold as it soaks me.
lift her face skyward, welcoming the cold, embracing the wind, relearning nature.
hear their laughter as they run in the rain, laugh with the thunder, play with the wind.
there is freedom in throwing off the restrictions, forget the worry, forget about other people.
the total abandon is exhilarating, intoxicating.
it is never enough.
come.
into the rain.
where you can't hide, where you don't have to hide.
it washes away the old, refreshing the new.
it brings life.
no.
it is life.
for water is essential to living things, and none can survive too long without it.
