first rain of the spring

one of the many facets of life is normality; routine.
getup, eat something, go to work, go to bed.. and do it all over again.
living in a place and time in life.. things get very predictable.

and one day, in come rolling the thick dark clouds. the air gets heavy, suffocating you.
weather puts a new coat of smell; bringing with, the taste of soil from the earth beneath us.
ominous and gloomy at its outset, souls scurry away, sparing from the impending doom;
such is the start of difficulties in life. a darkening, dimming view of the days to come.

to add to such overwhelming view, the clouds start to rumble.
slowly building up to only scream and roar with the highest pitch.
such powerful thunders, the earth shakes, scattering the remaining souls.
as they hold on to their dear lives, out come the beastly winds testing the grips.

as all the living souls hide away, one stands with arms open.
smelling the offerings the troop of clouds are to shower upon.
turning slowly looking up, awaits the coming of the heavenly storms.
only a drenched soul will know whats after such menacing sight.

blip blip.. down come the raindrops, like soft kisses of the clouds above.
what started as a sprinkling shower, picks up pace and begins to downpour.
the clouds roar and rumble again.. not being able to contain anymore,
they shower all the rains they brought with, like lovers meeting after long absence.

they wash away all the dirt and scatter all the weakened things,
rejuvenating the soul and body, leaving them clean and strong.

so came the rain into my spring, the long pending first rain for this life.
after months and years of being torn by the storm winds, still withholding;
i close my eyes awaiting the refreshing heavenly showers, and here they are;
the tiny sprinkles of spring rain, picking up their pace...

reassuring the strength of the rains they brought, the clouds rumble again.
sparking the entire sky, rattling the ground, explodes a thunder bolt.
lighting up the whole world view, thus strikes the lightening...
