Day 24

dance in the rain

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, 

it's about learning to dance in the rain.

~Vivian Greene~

sprinkling, drizzling, raining, pouring,

drop, 
        drop, 
                drop, 
                         - stream,
step, 
       step, 
              wet, 
                     - scream!

spinning, jumping, laughing, soaring,

people staring, gasping, pointing,

wind - sharp, 
                    cold - whip,
face - hot, 
                skin - slip,

running, falling, sky-anointing,

shrugging, talking, arms flailing,

up! 
      de-
            fi-
                ance,

eyes smile! 
                 drink! 
                          dance!

people leaving, 
you - staying.
