Rain

Its been raining for 3 days and 3 nights now. Soft at times like an apologetic mist harder at times like a drummer in trance but theres been no let up .The heat of the earth rising up to the sky to meet peace and sink into harmony of the clouds to float back down in a blissful homecoming of identical counterparts. All equal each one none the richer none the poorer for itself all floating down back where they rose from . Collecting in little silos .. little puddles allover splashing among hurrying feet and screeching tires like children in a muddy playground...hanging upside down from wet clothes tantalizingly slowly dripping out like a slow cycling competition each drop trying to hang on longer than the next . Its a circus of games that the drops are playing on us all around while we pray for the rain to stop and the clouds to clear and the winds to blow these pranksters away.
