Stand still,
Under the outcry of the thick, dark clouds.
Get soaked by the heavenly downpour,
Empty your thoughts for a second,
In a minute, let yourself go.
Cry your eyes out,
Let the rain wash away your tears.
Take a deep breathe.
Inhale, exhale.
Stand in the rain,
Get soaked from head to toe.
Spread out your arms and let go of the weight.
Let the water do the carrying.
But you, wait in the water.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Be still and unwind.
There is something about standing in the rain.
As chocolate is to the tongue.
