Most people find the rain
depressing.
They see it as
the sky falling to pieces
or
tears
falling from
the heavens.
They see gray skies and
their hearts hurt.
But not me.
I don't see the rain as
a cause for
disconsolation.
In the rain I see
beauty
life
rebirth
a fresh start.
It fills me with
joy
not despair
to see thick clouds
gray skies
and wet sidewalks.
