POETRY TIME!!
So I came up with this on my way back to my car, running through the rain (hense the title). Long story short: my car was parked on the outskirts of campus, and it was raining HARD.
I enjoyed every second of it though.
Running in the Rain
Though the clouds cover the sun
You still know its day
And as I walk out of the building
Where others wait for the rain to die down
I step out and let it fall on me
I stop for a moment
Letting the first few drops kiss my forehead
Running down until my shirt soaks them up
The rain beings to fall faster
So I acknowledge this with a sprint
Letting the rain hit me harder
Running running as if I can escape,
But knowing that I can’t
As if I’m playing a game
I fly down the side walks
Cross the busy street
Not caring for the destination
All I want is for the ground to hit my feet
My shirt white soaking wet
My long hair now slightly darker straighter
My pants catching the splash
As I can’t help but laugh
Though I am in a city
Surrounded by concrete and buildings
I feel in touch
I feel like a raindrop falling from the sky
I feel like the chucks of concrete that I pass by
Like I am one of the steps
One of the blades of grass
The students and teachers on their way to class
As man’s creations are an extension of man
Man is but an extension of nature
Nature, the extension of Creation
Creation, the Will of the Source
To be in tune with one,
Will lead to it all
And as I stop for a moment and smile
I realize running isn’t going to make me dryer
But that doesn’t matter,
Because I enjoyed the game
I was beaten by the rain
I reach my car and the rain dies down
Tossing in my bag and taking off my shirt
Squeeze out the water
I figure, what could it hurt?
I stop again, raise my head to the sky
Let the final few drops kiss me goodbye
Kissing my cheeks
Falling off my nose
Hugging my chest
It’s sad that I had to go
But it was a fun game, and we’ll play again someday
When again the clouds cover the sun
But I’ll still know the time of day.
I enjoyed every second of it though.
