A Cloudy/Rainy Metaphor

I walked in the rain today.
Just listening to it
drip off of my umbrella, and
I thought to myself, "I wonder
if I'll miss the rain?"
It's gotten to the point
where I don't even try to
avoid the puddles any more.
I walk right through them.
Perhaps that's where I flaw.
When I'm gone, I'll miss the
down-pour, I'll miss the bizarre
safety of listen to the storm.
I then thought when I'm sick
I'll wish I would have avoided
that puddle. But I realize I'm already
sick, and when there's no rain
I'll regret not feeling it's effects.
So now I've come to the conclusion
to enjoy the pitter-patter, and the
relief of just having hearing it.
Falling asleep to it's melody,
and waking to it's mystery. I must
engulf it for all it's worth,
because you can always find blue
sky, and sun.
