Walking in the rain
Water falling from the sky
I hop across the puddles
Not a peek of sunshine in sight
No umbrella to shelter me from the pour of many raindrops
But with a smile on my face and without a care in the world
I admire the beauty and the simplicity of it all
The beauty in the rain, the clouds, and the mud
All of them clueless of the wonder projecting to my eyes
The calm serene sound of the streaming tears from the soggy pillows up above
Then without a second thought,
I start skipping in the rain
A calm yet thrill joy erupts from inside me
I laugh not caring who stares at me
Not caring what’s around me
Looking crazy for laughing and skipping for no reason at all
But I’m happy
I’m happy to admire the beauty of the rain, puddles, and mud
Happy to witness the beauty when those who may have looked at many times but never actually see
But then I slip
I fall
Dazed from what just occurred
How feelings can just change, as fast as they emerge
But then someone taps on my shoulder and helps me up
I gaze into eyes filled with the exact awe I had before
