Thoughts in the Rain

Do you like standing in the rain, too?

What is rain?

What is gravity?

Why do birds fly?

Why do we fall?

What is emotion?

What is love?

Why do we not know?

Why can we not learn?

 

The rain falls on my skin

the water cool for but a moment.

The wind fills my shirt

The lightning flashes in the distance.

 

And I think.

And I hold my hands up

and I try to catch the water

and I feel as though my mind has left my body.

 

What is life?

What are we supposted to do in it?

Why do we waist time in such stupid ways?

Why do we not try to change other lives- one at a time.

 

Why do we not take every second to try and change our own?

Author's Note

Sorry if I offend anyone. These are just random questions I thought of that I couldn't explain as easily as 'science' or 'god'. Please don't be rude if you review, and please don't say 'It's god's will'. I'm athiest.

Something really to ponder on in this...the staement of what is love!
I like this it doesn't force any unwanted answers to your questions.
This is well put together... Least I think so.

Some question do not have answers Some have answer which are only true for you
You pose your questions in well written prose.

yes. initially, standing in the rain is refreshing- it awakens your senses and makes you think. Its the after bit, when the burst of rain has finished, and you are stood dripping as the clouds make their departure.

sorry, that just happened to me this afternoon =D. anyway, great write, very reflective and pensive.
