Summer’s Tears…
Standing by the window, lost in thoughts as I stare to the world outside. The blazing sun above casts a heat that makes the horizon shimmer. I took my gaze away from the sight before me and slowly sat down on my bed. An uneventful afternoon that time is. A moment to be alone, here in my room… on my own.
The heat is unnerving, I got up again and opened the windows slightly farther apart. A rush of wind blows inside and made me smile. That feels much better. I went back and sat down on my bed. All that should be done are done and finding nothing else to do. Don’t want to go outside in this kind of heat unless I want to be burned alive. I sighed, so I guess I am stuck here.
I closed my eyes, a minute and it feels like eternity. Opening them, I feel the room getting darker. Strange, I muttered to myself. Took a look outside and it is getting darker too. I tried to get up to take a better look. But before I can even reach the window, the silence of the afternoon was shattered. Millions of tears from the sky fell down on our roof and it echoes throughout.
It is raining!
Quickly I run down only to see all of them standing by the window as the heaven continues to weep. The rain quenching down summer’s heat, replacing it with gentle coolness. Who would’ve thought that it will rain especially that we are in the middle of summer? I smiled and whispered my thanks to God.
The rain goes on and I went back to my room. I forgot that I have left the windows open and the water has gotten in. It wasn’t that much since there are no strong winds to blow the rain inside more than it should. Wiped the puddle out and I find myself standing beside the window again.
Watching as drops of water falls down from the leaves, listening to the angry fall of the raindrops, smelling the cool wind that drafts through the room and feeling happy about it. The sky never cease to cry over the land, time flies by and still I am here fascinated with the most unexpected event.
I laid my weary body on my bed as the rain continues. Snuggling comfortably and hugging my pillows, I closed my eyes. Today, there are summer’s tears… tomorrow the sun will be burning again.
Raindrops are the bravest thing that God has created… because they are not afraid of falling down.
