• Close my eyes.

    Hear the rain hit the ground.
    Feel the drops on my face.
    Smell the wet wood.

    Stop.

    Wind rustling against the trees.
    Leaves blowing to my feet.
    Water rushing through my shoes

    Stop.

    Water trickling down the sewers.
    Car whooshes past me.
    Everything like a dance.

    Stop.

    The crackling thunder breaks through it all.
    Dripping rain from the roof, wood.
    Silent screams from the drying worms.

    Stop.

    Sunlight bursts through the clouds like an explosion.
    Mirrors of water seep through the mud.
    Birds chirping.

    Stop.

    Broken silence from the yells and cries of happy children.

    Open my eyes.

    Stop.

    Join in the fun.
