Characteristics of Rain

Spine-Tingling

My Birthday, During a lightning storm
Around 9:00PM

I now realize that there is nothing in this world as scary as the things that plague my mind, this is a disappointment.

I love lightning
The electricity in the air,
The physical crackling

The feeling on the back of your neck,
Between the top of your spine
and the knob on the back of your head

The tension,
The feeling that
You could be struck at any time
and liking that feeling

The thought of the feeling of being struck,
The electricity running down the back of your head
Down your spine, Crackling, Spine-Tingling

Down to earth,
Like the resounding thud
Of your feet hitting the floor
Of the Ocean
Whilst wearing lead shoes...

The resounding silence afterwards,
"sleeping with the fishes".

The rain's good too

I like the way it pounds down on you,
Never letting up,
Beating you down
and you resisting,
Standing tall

The tingling of water as it trickles
Down the back of your neck,
Your head and shoulders
Plastering your hair to your head

How your skin gets cold,
Your feet numb

It's glorious,
It makes me feel more alive than...
Ever!

Raining Teacher

The sky is crying
The clouds are dying
The rain is trying
To tell us be observant
Of the world that's hurting
Notice the shades of grey
The atmosphere's decay
The prolonged delay
Of sunshine's intermission
Sunrays that are imprisoned
In the darkness that's envisioned
Rivers will flood
Dirt transforms to mud
But the same drops causes flowers to bud
Rain makes things grow
Pain makes us grow
Sunshine all the time will make us slow
So let the torrents flow
Rapidly through our senses
Capturing our attention
As the storm commences
