The rain
Open fields with the vivid smell of fresh cut grass.
Roads that are filled with dark red dirt.
Trees so high they can almost touch the stars.
Flowers blooming at their best on the most beautiful summer day.
And the raindrops on the leaves are taken down by the power of gravity.
The rain reminds you how much you used to love walking in it.
Always walking so fast but when you felt those drops it was like the tarmac became drifting sand.
You'd walk as slow as possible.
You forgot how much it made you feel like you belonged.
How the rain surprised you, how you couldn't control it.
But all of the sudden you could control everything you thought you couldn't.
Cause this was something higher than you.
It's amazing to be reminded by something you forgot existed.
To remember that peaceful feeling.
Cause sometimes the high is too low and the low is too high.
Not everything can be repaired and that hits completely differently.
That's when you need that drifting sand and water falling out of the sky.
