Dancing In The Rain
Distraction and Grounding
Dancing in the rain
In the moon lit sky
Stars sparkling like the twinkle of an eye
Torturous thoughts racing through your mind
Racing in your heart like you’re about to jump out of your skin
Aromas surrounding you start to creep in to your nose
Ceasing the torture that had suddenly arose with a calmness of scents grounding you
Time stands still as you embrace the entering calm
Instantly your thoughts turn to your senses as you feel the rain dripping on your skin
Once a nervous wreck, you now feel a sense of relief and relaxation
No more stress and racing thoughts, just the dancing in the rain, filled with sunshine.
