slow and steady, the drops fall
one by one, smashing on the pavements
puddles form, growing larger at the second
feet hitting the pavement, one by one
faster and faster, they pick up speed
splash!
they crash into the puddle, water flying everywhere
laughter, everyone is happy
another joke cracked, the laughter grows louder
clack!
the sky rumbles, furiously
the sky lights up, almost blinding the people around
gasps fly from the mouths, then more laughter
more puddles are disrupted
the rain falls harder, faster, more steady
the direction curves at a 45 degree angle, soaking everyone
but at the end of the day, not even the rain, or the thunder, or the lighting, or even the pending tornado watch looming in anyone's mind can ruin the joy flowing in everyone's veins
because for once, i am alive
and nothing can stop the blood pumping in and out my heart.
today was an amazing day.
i felt alive for once
joined by four other friends, i walked home in a storm which brought a tornado watch in the city.
the rain was harsh and we were all soaked, but we made it out alive.
