rain always inspires me

[blueyesfl0at]

so many things are going on at once. steadily filling, the rain beats down on the lake in my backyard. some big drops some small drops, all leave their infinitesimal monument on the surface of the water. puffs skitter across the surface tension, reminding me of the ocean somewhere out there. the greenness of the grass starkly contrasts with the reflection of the crying sky visible at some angles. sparse blades of grass poke their drowning faces to the sky to seek some respite from the barrage of water, but instead find more plump tear drops landing on their faces, burying them in misery. i kneel on my windowsill, my hand extended out the slightly opened window, palm upwards to catch some glittering tear drops. the cool water trickles down my wrist and my stimulated nerves beg me to run out and play in the rain, but there is work to be done. i sit sullenly and watch the rain play with its already fallen brethren and i draw a tear down my face with my wet finger.
rain always inspires me.
