after a storm

Apr 12, 2008 - 19:51 PM PST
i've always loved storms.
especially late at night when the wind is going crazy
throwing the rain around, smacking it against my window.
i love laying in bed attempting to fall asleep
&then seeing this flas of beautiful light that's gone in a millisecond
and then the huge roar of the thunder afterwards.
when i was younger i'd always ask my mom if i could go stand outside when it rained.
i'd lift my head up and let the water fall on my face.
reach my hands up and try to touch the clouds.
spin around and around until i fell in the mud.
&now, i watch it from my window, watch the rain fall from my window, making tiny streams.
wishing that one person was with me right that second, just to watch the storm and appreciate it as much as i always have.
i love the smell after a storm.
the smell of water and mud and leaves and rocks.
i always find myself picking up the worms that got washed out unto the sidewalk
placing them back on the grass hoping they find their way back.
