walk in the rain

pre-text: rained all day today, as usual life hits me with something to learn. nature indeed reflects life.

muse: weather

take off your shoes and run free, dive into life
soaked to the skin and loving it, living in real time and not for later
laughing out loud, never apologizing for being you
ignoring wise words of the old, adamant that you are invincible
slipped and fell down and it hurt, never knew that you could slip up
feeling cold on the outside and burning on the inside, you learned your lesson now

grey skies ahead so carry an umbrella, always be prepared
open your umbrella, build up your defenses
stand under a shelter, stay in your comfort zone
avoid the puddles, stick to the sidewalk where you are safe
wear a couple more layers, and not white, keep yourself impenetrable to the world
stay indoors if you can, do not take risks or chances unless calculated

i want to walk barefoot like i did before
i want to squeal in excitement like i did before
i want to fall down and get up after crying for attention like i did before
i want to love without fear of being hurt
i want to chase dreams without waking up from nightmares
i want to live life without reservations

oh won't you come play with me in the rain?
