I laughed out loud


I drew the curtains
The weather was miserable
A somber grey day

 Sad clouds rushed above
Obedient to their master
Raspy thunder coughed

 Then the lightning struck
The clouds wet themselves with fear
and I laughed out loud

 So I went outside
Standing there unprotected
Now kissed by the rain

    I love the idea of standing in the rain. A warm rain, of course.

    There is a freedom that comes in not being afraid of the rain - or getting drenched to the bone..one of those mindful..gay abandon times of moments which are an absolute joy

      Gay abandonment - quite topical in the US right now I believe!

    I love the thought of thunder coughing and frightened clouds peeing themselves! Spot on Old Egg.

    Rain, that'd be delightful, if the thunder isn't too dominant. :)
