Fingers on the glass

Fingers slide on them

Rain drops chasing down the glass

I’m quite the bored lass

It is raining on and off. Nothing much to do, just waiting for the rain to stop. At least, it gives a bit of cool. It is so humid and warm outside.

It is funny how one can welcome the rain for so many different reasons. When spring comes in in the Northern hemisphere, rain announces the renewal of life. Trees are blossoming and flowers sprouting from the soil… everything gets colorful and shiny, refreshing and lively…

Then, when the rain is coming in the equator, it brings some freshness to the air. It adds to the ambient humidity, but definitively brings some cool in a warm weather.

Then, again, when rain comes in between, it is not so welcome, as it brings flood and devastation. The monsoon season is not something to look forward to.

When the rain drops are racing across the window, I follow them with my fingers, waiting for the rain to stop. The fresh air and the humid soil perfume bring a break in the oppressing warmth. I don’t like much the rain, but I always welcome it…
