Rejuvenation

"With all these dark clouds hovering over us, don't you think this season is the most depressing of all?"

"Nah, the clouds, the rain; they comfort me."

"This season has a weird way of reassuring me that everything and everyone deserves a new beginning."

"The raindrops falling from the sky have a strange way of talking to me,

They speak to me in a way no human can.

They listen to my cries; they help me smile.

They stir me, they inspire me.

The water has the strength of purifying me of all my doubts and insecurities yet the thunder brings with it all the fears that I experienced."

"The smell of the rain,

The scent of the sand; the petrichor,

The colors in the sky, the movement of the breeze,

They all have a unique way of connecting with me.

They cure me of my writer's block yet force me to wrap myself up in a blanket like a cocoon;

They help me heal yet bring all the sadness up on the surface."

"The droplets on the leaves and the flower petals,

The repercussions of greenery;

All the aesthetics, the rainbows,

They give a new birth to my soul.

When deserted, they give me company, just like a moon in a starless night sky;

Silently whispering to my soul, healing intensely from within."

"The soft breeze flowing through my hairs,

The rain drops falling on my hands,

The melancholy feels; the reminiscence,

The rain brings with it all the emotions.

It brings all the precious memories that I often lock in a place where I no longer intend to go;

It exposes the memories which I no longer wish to possess."

"Nudging me in the right direction,

Proving to me the possibility of a new beginning.

They bring all the pain,

And along with it all the strength.

The rain has a weird way of making me smile, it brings all the peace and the chaos.

It teaches me in a cruelest way how to be happy again."

"Everyone breaks down once a while,

But all you got to do is revamp after the storm ends;

Rise higher than before;

Just as after a rainfall everything looks prettier, so should you.

Breathing in the haze and breathing out the negativities.

It helps me wither and rejuvenate."
