running in the rain

running in the rain looks nothing like this

It was pouring
But that didn't keep me inside
I laced up my shoes
And I went anyway 

Stepping through the door I was free
Free of music
Free of worry about my clothes
Or my hair
Free to jump into any puddle I wanted

I felt like a kid again
Filled with reckless abandon
Wide grin on my face
Enjoying the raindrops as they fell down my cheek

With no music to distract me
My mind wandered
Thoughts flowed in and out with ease
And even the occasional singing occurred 
Of the tune I was writing in my head

Who knew that running in the rain could be so fun
