Sonya The droplets poored down on the little town. The roar of cars on the interstate was muted for awhile as the song of the rain had its personal interlude. A black cat scurried to a redwood picnic table under an overhanging. It curled up in the middle and began to plot the demise of everyone and everything. It silently cursed the rain as it wiggled its tail. From a distance one could see the sinister glow of its yellow eyes. Sarah combed her black hair after she stepped out of the shower and immediately heard the rain pounding on the window pane. She threw on some clothes hastily. She ran out of the front door and twirled around in the parking lot. No one saw her...but her. For a moment all was well. For a moment she was hugged by the rain and her worries ran down the storm drain into nothingness. A bed of tulips sighed in delight as it was receiving its favorite food. The crimson petals of each tulip seemed to glisten under the shower. Soon more tulips would join the sacred ball held by Mother Nature. Rain in all its glory...it has a different meaning for every creature. 020918 ... 0of46 yay!! it finally rained...... 020919 ... the swinger of birches it's rainging in houston, the house is filled with gray light. the windo blinds are opened and i can feel the gray encompassing me as i sit in the den listening to the radio. i get up, turn if off, and slowly hear the sounds of raindrops enter my ears. when it rains in houston, i am taken to a different place. the city becomes something different from it raw sunny garage sale look. it becomes a quiet place that is filled with rejuvination. the lawn is green and the tropical plants bob up and down with the shower hitting their broad leaves. my dad stands on the back pation looking out across the back yard. the dogs lie down on the cool cement, their bulky heads prostate against the floor, their eyes inquisitive. i catch the image of a bird in the reflection of the computer screen, i do not turn around to see it. the house does not leak. everything begins to slow down and recognize the beauty that falls around them. 030326 ... stoic i am wet and clean and muddy. just not at the same time. that would be silly. rain! . 040113 ... stoic if only rain were dry then I'd sit and play in fields of fresh crisp rain dryly splashing over me . 040125 ... is mise mon singing sleep 040414 ... tessa It makes interesting pictures in the sky and on windows. It softens the sky and hides the harsh, uncompromising sun. It cools the air and cleans the footpaths. It makes things seem special. Exceptional in some way. A little bit more of a challenge, a bit more exciting. It makes inside seem warmer and friendlier. You can't really curl up for hot chocolate and a book unless it is raining. Rain is an equalizer. I doesn't care who you are, it will rain on you anyway. Rain humbles us. It doesn't care what plans of yours it is ruining, or how hard you wish it wouldn't. It does interesting things with empty space. The gap between me and the horizon which used to be pointless and unused is suddenly felt and seen to have depth and volume. It is full of falling water. 051120 ... AfPRicochetMVP so it's raining outside. it's about damn time. when i get out of the dorms and into my own place, i'm going to make sure that it has a huge window that i can sit in front of and drink hot chocolate or spice tea and just listen to the rain fall. 051120 ... tilt when the rain trickles down the windows, it's like everyone is crying. was that thunder? oh! give me thunder, i beg!! 060326 ... filing cabinet hemispheres "All i can say Is that my life is pretty plain I like watching the puddles gather rain" ~Blind Melon 060531 ...
