Sweet Comforting Rain

Afternoon thunder awakens me. I'm still here. I pause to listen. The rumble fades.
Drawn outside, I inhale the clean air as it begins to rain - again. 
Bare feet to the earth. Face to the sky. Arms stretched out. 
Rain dances with my tears. I breathe. 

I am alive.
I am alive.
I am alive.
Life is sweet.
