The rain came down slowly, at first. Then, in torrents. We ran, with heads bent, towards the store ‘s entry way to get out of the torrential rain that now included gusts of icy, cold wind. The day had gone from sunny, blue skies, laughter and play to grey skies, cold air, and despair.
Pattering on bouncing leaves, soaking the earth into black. They huddled under a pathetic attempt of cover, the other warmth in the air was between them. Some might call this misery romantic.
Rain drips from the trees and thunders on my windowpane. I am in bed, snuggling closer in my nest of blankets and pillows. Rain was meant for nights like these, but not for mornings. Not for mornings, when you have to get up, despite its lullaby, and eat breakfast and take medicine and move and keep your eyes open.
Once the rainy season ended, the world dried out and she had to water the garden every day. While the long days of constant rain were depressing, with the dry season, she missed the sound of the rain during the night, its lullaby helping her to sleep.
