Singing in the rain...

Meandering in the rain with an umbrella in my hand; I held it against the grey and dismal-looking sky. My umbrella, white and baby blue, merry shades of a clear, sunny sky. Colours so exuberant and blithe, they tinted the sky into a jovial hue.

Under the showery sky, I jumped and hopped. Under the willowing trees, I skipped and pranced. Frolicking with the water puddles, humming "Singing in the Rain". Took a glance around and made sure I'm out of anyone's sight. Leaped into the rain, and onto the pebbled pavement. Did my little Gene Kelly dance, crooning away like he did, twirling that cheerful-coloured brolly in my hand.

Nearby, a stranger quietly stood. He gave an applause at the end of my little dance. Startled though I was, I blushed and gave a sheepish bow. To my only audience, I waved him goodbye. I bestowed a last bow like any good performer will do and gracefully egressed...

Me and the rains...

I love the rain. The serenity. The tranquillity. It soothes me. Kind of makes me happy, makes me calm.

I love lying on my bed when it rains. Looking out of the window, that tree outside my window. Watch its leaves fluttering about, riding in the wind, in the rain. The cool, cold draft against my skin. The pleasant sounds of the splattering rain, the wind knocking against my window. Beautiful shades of grey as the backdrop...

Strolling in the rain without a care in the world. Just to feel the raindrops drumming and tapping against my skin. All the worries and unhappiness, drain away with the rain...

Fell asleep on-board the ferry to Ko Samui, Thailand. The rain, the wind and the slow rhythmic rocking of the ferry lulled me to sleep. It's nice to sleep in when it rains. Mmmm... What a pleasure...

Rainy night. Had my jazz CD playing. The mix of jazz with the sound of the rain - the most beautiful music in the world...

Yes, those sad moments with the rains... Walking in the stormy rain, to the park by the South Perth River. Sitting by the river, tears and rain streaming down my face. Cold and soaked as I was. Sad and lonely though as I felt. Still, rain was my only comfort. Cleansed me of the feelings I hate, the pain that I feel...
