Drip. Drop.
Soft pitter-pattering rain.
Faces turn heavenward
To gaze into the night.
Drip. Drop
Everwhere you turn-
It's there,
Falling from the clouds like
Tear drops from an eye.
Drip. Drop.
It starts to come on harder
Coating everything in cold
Water from on high.
My arms spread,
My eyes rise to the sky
And I spin.
Mouth open wide,
Eyes squinting in surprise,
A grin spreads across my face.
Arms outstretched,
Twirling in delight.
Stars blurring in the sky.
Simple joy.
Perfect peace.
And I remember;
This is being a kid.
Carefree and happy
With the simple things in life.
