This moment simply IS
There is no anxiety or anticipation
Doors aren’t left half open
Whatever pathway there is
Is already laid bare
Ready for my foot falls
Happily treading
Bobbing to the sense of Freedom
And then the first warm droplets fall
A summer rain
And the Anticipation comes Alive
The droplets stirring the electricity just brimming beneath the surface
My breath escapes my control
Unable to inhale nearly enough
I become as light as air
Almost lifting off of the ground
The strong breeze promising to carry me along
I feel known
As I let the rain drench me
Cleanse me of the past
And promise the next.
