Rain

I love the rain, most of the time.

Even on cold dreary days it gives me peace.

It never fails in it’s ability to calm me on these days.

Giving me release from the stresses of everyday life.

Other times it can give me energy, saturating my soul with it’s life force. These days are usually warm summer rains, with thunderstorms and lightning. Even the smells that come with these times uplifting my spirit.

Occasionally though, it can beat me down. As it relentlessly soaks through my clothes and shoes. My heat bleeding out onto the ground. These days can also build strength though, as I am as relentless as the rain, in my battle against it.

Even these days will end with a quiet acceptance of it’s power, a nodding of my head to it’s dominance over our life’s.

As I enjoy my warm cup of soup.
