A little while ago, Tina and I had a discussion on a rainy day. I told Tina that I think that the rain is liquid sunshine. I love the rain, walking in it. It makes me feel alive. When I walk through the rain and reach my destination, it always seems to heighten the beauty of what I then see. The way we think about things can change our lives. Each day can be a birth day. This poem is called Rainy Birth Day, written for a birthday. As I wrote it, the rain was pouring down...
Rainy Birth Day
I walked into the rain
Gloomy, wanting to turn back
Reject the pain
Feel the comfort of the fire
Then I stood, waited
Felt the water of life
Fears abated
I thrived, rejuvenated, flourished
Birth, today
Rebirth of thoughts
My mind finds a way
Excuses to smile, live, love
Now, I relish the rain
See, clearly what it brings
The colour, pleasure and gain
Fill my soul to overflowing
