There I Stand

It's the perfect summer rainstorm
Straight down in a perfect steady pour
As if God is watering His garden
And we, the humans, are the ants
Running, scurrying about trying to get out of the rain
And into our little homes
Except me
There I stand in the middle of it all
My arms opened wide
My head tilted towards Heaven
I don't really know why
but I can't move myself from this place
What am I expecting...
For the rain to wash it all away?
Leaving only me to stand there in the rain?
For my worries and pain to be carried away as the rain flows down my skin?
The sun is peeking through the clouds now
The rain has slowed to a mere sprinkle
And so there I stand
A lonely ant
With only my wet clothes
And all of my worries, cares and pain
