"Some Feel the Rain..."

Find someone who is not afraid to live.

By Kiersten FoxPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

She walked through storms

head high and uncovered.

Everyone whose path she crossed

asked her why she would let herself get wet.

A few tried to offer space under their umbrellas

or give her advice on where to get her own.

As if she were made of sugar, of paper-

something in need of preserving and protecting.

When she's grown tired of trying to explain

how the water and the brilliant sky called to her,

a boy came out from nowhere, grabbed her hand,

and pulled her further into the fray.

Together they laughed, dancing through the showers

to the wild thunder beats.

Their careless joy flashed like lightning

while everyone else simply stared in wonder

from the sheltered safety of their umbrellas
