A Rainy Day
The wind blew harshly and stung my eyes,
Nearly falling back we laughed and laughed.
Like a wave,
Crashing over us,
The rain soaked us all.
The thin jacket, which I wore for the sun,
Danced along.
Almost there, we were so close,
To the warm light of our house.
It was a rush of adrenaline,
And euphoria too,
As we collapsed and soaked the carpeted floor.
The wind blew the door shut, and I threw the jacket off,
We made hot chocolate and warmed ourselves up.
Shivering, teeth chattering,
My sister and I smiled throughout the day,
Until we closed our eyes and drifted off,
Into dreamland.
The following days, we coughed and coughed,
But we laughed as we thought about the storm that covered the sun.
Now when we hear the rain,
We think of the days we were caught,
In the water, the laughter, and the joy of it all.
This poem is based off of a time where my sister and I were caught in the rain. It is one of those moments where you get such an euphoric rush and remain with you.
