Have an Umbrella?

You would think that the rain is bothersome

However it gives me a piece of joy and relaxation; like sitting out in the warm summer sun gazing at the clear blue sky wondering what is up there

All I can hear is the sweet sound of the wet raindrops slamming against the ground making this splashing sounds as if I stepped in a deep puddle

The ground is slippery and wet and almost dangerous to run on

While everyone else is walking in the night with an umbrella, I am sitting in the subtle wetness of the sky

I wonder if there are people like me who like the idea of rain

Why not like the rain?

It’s so peaceful and it’s a great reminder that not everything is bright and clear cut

Rain isn’t predictable; it could pore like in the southern thunder storms, or it could really pore like it does in green Seattle, or it could even just drizzle ever so slightly

I look around and see people hurrying to get out of the rain; but I am still here, enjoying my cigarette. Thanks to the warm weather and the wetness from the rain, the smoke from my stogie is very thick and profound. But still, sitting; no umbrella; people watching

I used to never like my alone time, but this is more than “alone-time”. It’s more of me reflecting on my life and getting away from the exterior world.

It’s nice to get away but without actually getting away. I just sit there gazing at the outside, looking past the guy crossing the street; past the raindrops; past it all. It is just me

Maybe I can get used to this idea of being by myself. It’s a great way to find myself in my most truest form

Most people want the rain to go away, but when you are a TRUE Seattle-lite like me, we are so used to the rain, we welcome it. Anyhow, looks like the rain is here to stay

Anyone got an umbrella?

Because I am starting to get wet

(2014)

This poem isn't really about something serious but about how I can zone out from the world and see the world in a new light. I like to just sit there and contemplate my life and who I am becoming.
