In defense of rain
Rain allows the clouds to let loose of the tension from the sun. Not only clouds, but us too. Without the rain, when else would we be able to feel the slat of moisture on our tongue when we catch a raindrop in our mouth, or feel the water erupt as we pounce onto that still puddle we can’t resist jumping in. Without rain, we’d never be able to listen to that soothing sound of the rain pattering on the window, almost as sweet as a lullaby that helps us fall asleep that much faster. If we were to fall asleep to the sound of suns rays, we’d wake up burning. That same burning that makes us yearn for that cooling drench we love to experience. With that drench, comes the refreshing scent of the first rain of the season, so clean, as if all the dirt in the world was washed away. That moment when you have something cold, but want something hot. That may be the worst feeling ever. But in the defense of rain, it’s incredible.
