The ominous black cloud covered the sky quickly
Looking around I found no place for refuge
Slowly the rain came down
One drop, two drops, three drops
Dressed in a blue t-shirt, patched jeans and sandals, I knew I would be drenched soon
Suddenly the sky opened up
Pellets of large raindrops soaked my bare skin
With my head down I watched as the rain hit the ground
Then, I listened
Plop, plop, plop-plop, plop-plop-plop, plop
As if on impulse, my feet followed the sound
Stomp, stomp, stomp-stomp, stomp-stomp-stomp, stomp
Energy coursed through my body
Up my knees, my torso, my arms
Then, with exhilaration the hands joined in unison
Clap, clap, clap-clap, clap-clap-clap, clap
With an irresistible pull, my body danced to the song of the rain
Laughter filled the air
As the storm passed, my body slowed
Peace filled my heart as I looked up to the sky and thanked God for a oneness with Him.
