RAIN, RAIN, RAIN

Hi everyone. How are you doing? Finally I have plenty of time to catch up with my blog. It has been a long time since I didn´t publish on Fridays. Anyway, it is raining heavily (it´s ten past three in the afternoon) and rain is always inspiring for me.

"SMALL THINGS THAT MAKE OUR WORLD WONDERFUL". This has been the topic of debate in class during the last couple of weeks. But now I realize that I haven´t posted anything related to it.

While I write this, I´m watching through the window how rain falls all over the city. I cannot describe the feeling I get when I look up into the sky and see that it is about to rain. Joy? Pleasure? Satisfaction?. Well, I don´t know. The only thing I know for sure is that I love rainy days (I ´ve said DAYS not WEEKS, haha). What I really like about the rain? Many things, for example:

I really love that humid, fresh and powerfully evocative scent of rain. It always brings back a lot of memories from my childhood, especially from my Summer holidays, when I was just a little kid playing around.

This is the most relaxing and comforting sound I have ever heard. There is no music or melody that can be compared to the sound of rain during the night. Sometimes, when I wake up in the middle of the night and find out that it is raining, I let the window partly open so as to hear the rain falling and placidly fall asleep.

 I love being wrapped in a blanket, wearing my pyjamas, while I sit on a bench in front of my bedroom´s huge window to appreciate how rain falls. Of course a big cup of coffee and good music cannot be absent. Being able to appreciate this outstanding phenomenon is really inspiring and peaceful 

 

People who are really close to me know how much I love reading. Books are the only thing I would spend a lot of money in. But reading your favourite book on a rainy day has no comparison at all with reading a book in a common day. It seems that all my senses and my mind are more active and permeable when I read on a rainy day, and therefore I can understand the story with a totally different perspective.

I believe that this is one of the smallest pleasures that is for free to anyone. I know that many people hate rain because they cannot do many of the activities they have planned or simply because they cannot stand the fact that a rainy day implies staying at home or stuck in a place. Well, those people should open up their mind and see all the great things that rain brings. And of course we should all be grateful and appreciate that we still have rainy days. There are some places in which rain represents only an impossible dream.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND :)

LAST HOPE

A.N.G.U.I.S.H

An imperceptible sign inside my head

Tells me once again

That everything around me is just a shade.

Suddenly, there I am. Fighting with you

Trying to stop the huge earthquake

That has destroyed my home

And broken my basis within five minutes

Narrowing my senses and my vision

Pervading my mind without permission

You just let me there, lying on the floor

Lonely, helpless, desperate, ashamed

Even my breath becomes yours

And my thoughts are at your mercy.

Gaining space and limiting my capacity

At such a speedy and disturbing pace

You hunt and chain me in such a way

That I fall on my knees, unable to stand up

Until I realize I no longer belong to myself.

Underneath this radiant and joyful smile

There you are, telling me that you are part of me now.

I cannot run, neither can I escape.

No matter how fast or astute I might be.

I will always find you at the end of the road,

Causing my whole world to crumble once again.

I find myself stuck and trapped

In one of the darkest and sinister places.  

In a vicious never ending journey

That has consumed every single part of me

Stronger and suffocating than any other force,

Your hands around my chest and mouth

Oppress every single breath of fresh air, every word.

Until you finally make me voiceless and mute.

However appalling and abysmal it all might be,

I have realized that there is something, 

A part of me that you will never take away from me.

And that is my willpower, my strength of mind.

A quality that has been part of me

Even before you existed.

“It´s just a spark but it´s enough

To keep me going”
