i am most alone when there is a thunder shower.

By WhoIAM

Its hard to say if it is raining or not.
i mean, there is water falling and all
but as i stand under this canopy and the sun still shines
as i hold my hand out in the rain and watch it drip down my arm and all over me
i realise that as beautiful as this is it is absolutely nothing

I can't help appreciate the pure brilliance of the fact that
this rain is falling after a day of heat and gloom filled humidity but all is still as it is.

maybe this beauty is all there is to existence
it is everything that fell
i just don't know.
the thunder is not failing
it is shineing and sounding all around
all around
it is hard to take in
everything is wet
the ground is steaming
everything still means nothing

It's just a simple explanation of things that are noticed by the subject so the product becomes not an idea but an event while it happens we read. I love your stuff dude. Layers can be seen but it's only what me in my self importance impart onto an otherwise basic reflection. you're good man. Onion.

    you know you're actually quite pretty. in a minimalist way of course. like a single bamboo stick bent, in the wind, wafting. but curiously aware. and mostly just curious.

    Wow. This struck me in the most passionate way. The way you explained everything in that tone of voice was brilliance. I'm not even sure what to say, just know that this was wonderful.
