Real Post 134 – I, Counting on the Rain

Standard

What soothes you the most from the pain and sorrow this world has brought? What keeps you calm and gets your head to cool? What conceals your sadness and washes away the emptiness that your heart feels? Is it something cold yet clear, tastes neither sweet nor bitter? Something like liquid, a water, or a drop of RAIN?

It’s rainy season once again. Wet socks and slippery roads, umbrellas are unfolding, big and small. Dusty staircases are now sweep clean by water. Most of all, raindrops are dancing on your roofs, blocking all those irrelevant noises and making you listen to a single and rhythmic sound, letting your ear concentrate to that beautiful march of tiny drops of tears from heaven until you fall asleep.

I don’t know why the sound of the raindrops calm my soul but I like it. The way they drop on the roof or just the plain sound of them as they come near me is blissfully amazing. The rhymes and rhythms they make are naturally choreographed that makes me imagine of graceful dancers on the peak of their performances or a well-orchestrated opera on the heights of their pieces. It is just incredibly wonderful and absolutely fantastic!

On a mellow note, rain is my therapy. It makes me calm and keeps me cool. Just listening to them wipes away whatever bad vibes I have. It relaxes me to the deepest part of my subconscious mind as I fall asleep. The greatest thing about rain is it will always cover my tears and washes away my pain, making me smile as it slowly stops until the sun shines again.

Truly, the heat of the sun strengthens me and keeps my mind focus on whatever goal I set, but whenever I get sad or feel blue, I can always count on the rain.
