the rain

by devon vega - Taurus

i know the rain brings some people down...i know to some it 
means that their crops will prosper and grow. to me, it is a 
return to the liquid that created us. i walked through the 
rain after class today. i watched as people ran for cover. 
their hair or books they tried to protect. what could you hope 
to protect from something as permeating as water. it flows 
through you and is a part of your existence. all your life 
you are exposed to water. even a little water on the skin 
is good every once in a while...

i noticed the drops falling all around. i traced their path 
as they landed on my face. my eyes. my nose. my lips. my 
cheeks. my chin. all consumed by the precipitous glory that 
is a gift from mother nature. the few who have learned to 
accept the sensuality that rain leaves on the skin are blessed.
they understand the beauty of life in an ever returning cycle. 
it falls and will always return to its heights. it ascends 
and colors the blue sky with shades of white. fluffy white 
clouds. how i wish you could free me from this thing called 
gravity.

Reason for writing:

    when in love the first time around, 
you notice everything...
