Before it rains...

The clouds rolled in, like an army of dark dense cotton balls ready to release hell on anything in, or beneath their path. They plagued the sun with a disease of darkness, allowing no natural light to grace the earths surface with its warmth.

I sat watching. Just waiting for the first drop, the ice cold, burning little drops that would fall from the sky and kiss my forehead. I was sitting on a swing at the park, that squeaked ever so slightly as the wind pushed by back and forth gently. I watched and listened to the silence.

Everyone was inside hiding. Buried under blankets and quilts praying that everything would be ok. They were weak. I was brave. My vast existence just by staring into it hard enough. Lightning soared through the sky. Binding the dark clouds like the stitching in a blanket; holding them all together as one. It was bright, blue and white mixed into one, with that brilliant glow of electricity.

Power!

The power I would, just once like to experience. The power that is provided by nature, the rain, clouds and the lightning. So natural, yet so strong, and soon I would be able to experience this power. I would be able to absorb the knowledge that the rain carried, swim in the gift of life given to us by the great rain god. I continued to wait..
