Rain

It rains,

And the smell of wet mud wafts through the air.

The wind blows through my hair,

It’s exhilarating.

Sitting beside me,

You smile, amused.

I know you feel it too.

Looking up at the storm clouds,

We see a flash of lightening,

Counting down for the thunder.

You look at me and I look at you,

Instinctively.

Our minds galloping, hearts racing,

It’s inconsequential.

We look up at the sky,

I’m wondering how I got here,

In this suspended animation.

I break the silence, say something mindless.

You listen intently, still amused.

There is song playing in the background,

I sing along.

I sing with unbridled joy,

Unaware of you smiling at me.

We look up at the sky,

I wonder how I got here.

It rains,

The wind blows through my hair,

I look at you and you look at me,

Our worlds collided, forever altered.

Our minds pacing, our hands intertwined.

This is it, our state of bliss.
