The torrential rains that fall outside
try to mimic my tears
But I have no more tears to cry-
the first in many years
I go outside and the raindrops
lick my cheeks where my tears once were
And it starts to bring joy to me
A small feeling starts to stir
I realized I never got to dance in the rain
"Because you will catch cold!"
I stood out looking up to the sky with a smile
And I giggled without a thought to the scold
Well, I looked like a wet animal
and that I had just had a shower
But I'll tell you that by dancing
in the rain I had taken back more power

Beautiful Christina!
Keep on dancing in the rain my lady
and the power will be yours each day!
It reminds me of ...
“Dancing in the Rain”...a Gene Kelly movie.
My mother loves it...and so do I!
Thanks for the read and your kind reply! I do appreciate it!
Beautiful, a dance but more ... independence and self discovery and awareness.... well done Christina!

RAIN DANCE ~ WOW ~ It's the Native American in you !
Who has danced the solemn Rain Dance ?
Called on Pluvius in a Rain Trance
Who has touched the clouds and made them rain ?
Shed you clothes ~ anticipation
Join in dance ~ precipitation
Fragrant showers will come again !
Loved your RAIN DANCE ~ Christina ~ you sound so Happy ~ and you make all of us
Happy with the sweet sunshine of your smile !
I have danced NAKED in the rain ~ it is the most awesome feeling !
HUGS in the RAIN ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@

You write about a favourite way of mine to shake off dark moods - go dance in the rain - or in the snow as I once did and loved it. A charming read on taking back power.
