Rain

Rain

We hope he will bring coolness, the Rain. Sometimes he gathers up, only to stay in the atmosphere as humid as can be. Other times Rain washes out a kind of static, moving molecules once again so the sky can cry.

Rain wraps me up in his soothing sound, cradling me with his mellow tones. Is Rain singing? Or maybe he's humming, hoping his subdued notes will lead to sleep.

Rain is a hopeless romantic, wishing us to stay inside with our loved ones, curled on the couch, listening to the humming of the house.

You might think he is lonely, seeing as how everyone escapes inside at his arrival. Often he is the only one left outside to bring us our much needed water respite.

But Rain is an inward-looking guy, full of introspection. He enjoys observing families from a window, or a couple in an embrace. He tries to add a softness to his outpour of emotion so the image remains in the air for as long as possible.

Then, with a brimming heart he returns home with his memories as close company.
