The Rain

The soft pattering outside my window.
Like a marching army.
The streaks left by the little droplets on the glass.
Running like spilt blood.
The grey sky above, sending the water down.
A leader commanding his men.
The rumble of thunder in the distance.
Like a falling castle.
The lightning jags across the sky brilliantly.
Beautiful white flames.
This is the rain I like, the kind which makes my body sing.

The droplets falling in waves, battered in my face by the wind.
It's hard to see.
The water streaking down my back, soaking my clothes.
I'm cold and wet.
The dark sky shutting out the burning sun, sending down cold.
Holding back my flames.
The thunder all around, drowning out everything.
It hurts my ears.
The lightning striking violently, sending shocks through the earth.
I can not run from it.
This is why I hate the rain. The water soaking me through, making
me wet and miserable. It is the cacophony of noises, the shedding
of a million tears.
Why should the sky shed tears, when I can not.
I hate the rain.
