Rain

Tonight, I was caught in a rain storm. Me- "I love the rain, I love running in the rain. It is so hot, I wish it would rain." Soft rain begins to fall, soft rain turns to quicker rain. Me- "I hope that thunder and lightening does not accompany this rain." Then, comes the lightening, thunder follows. The quicker rain turns into sheets of rain all around us. The sweat mixes with the rain and burns my eyes. The rain feels like needles on my back. We wait under a high school awning. I play with a locust/katydid. I watch the ants. My mind turns over and over. Rain.
