Walking In The Rain

I went for a walk in the rain.

Climbing up the stairs I stared into the horizon,

A sky blue umbrella in my hand,

Earphones plugged in my ears.

Carefully I treaded on the wet floor,

Trying not to slip,

And as I walked out of the shade,

The rain fell on me like a gentle breeze.

At first, I was worried

When the rain found me despite the open umbrella,

Then slowly my worries became distant,

And the rain was all I thought about.

The rain used to worry me,

And I never seemed to like it too much,

I smiled at how I used to be,

And felt grateful for what I am now.

My jeans were soaked,

I began to shiver,

Yet this all did not bother me,

All I felt was the beauty of the rain.

I kicked off my slippers,

And welcomed the water surrounding my feet.

The rain washed away reality,

And I was lost, in my own world, happy and secure.

Everyone has tough moments in life,

And to forget the past is not easy to do,

 If you ever wonder, am I happy?

Then I know exactly what you should do.

Whenever it is raining

Drop whatever you are doing

Without a care

Just take a walk in the rain.

If you think, worry, regret,

Then there is no doubt about the fact

That you are disturbed,

And are not at peace with yourself.

If, despite of everything, you smile and laugh,

And let the rain take you somewhere happy,

Then, both you and I will know,

That you are happy, the happiest person on Earth.
