On A Rainy Night

Before the rain...

Some smelt it in the air, felt the light breeze of wind and sensed the ache in their bones
even before the rain fell
Others were bogged down and preoccupied with so much work they did not even notice the darkening of the sky

During the rain...
Some whipped open their umbrellas and ducked for shelters to hear the raindrops pattering above them
Others dashed and ran through the rain to feel the raindrops pattering down on their bare skin

Some are caught in the rain, cold and drenched, trying hard not to slip and fall walking on the wet, slippery pavement
Others are tucked comfortably in bed, trying hard not to fall asleep on a cosy night like this

Some are sad and down, for the slight drizzle is a sign of the skies grieving and mourning with them over their predicaments.
Others are happy and joyous- even the flashes of lightning looked like celebratory fireworks and the rumbling thunder, roars of joy

After the rain...

Some moods are dampened by the downpour- for the reminders of grey, cold and wet
Other moods are lifted and refreshed- for the promise of sunshine after the rain


A kaleidescope of...
Actions. Situations. Feelings. Emotions. Perceptions.
All on a rainy night
