Learning to Sit With Storms

Weather forecast for today: dark.
Clouds heavy. Sky quiet.
Rain falling — soft, steady, endless.

I sit in a corner,
cigarette in hand,
watching the sky write its own poetry.

There’s something about rain.
Something calming.
It doesn't ask anything of you —
it just is.

And for a moment,
that’s enough.

I used to say I was in love with the whole world.
And maybe I still am —
especially when it wraps itself in its rainy arms.
Every drop feels like a reminder
that it’s okay to feel everything.

They say life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass.
It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
But some days,
you don’t need to dance.
You just need to sit still and let it fall.

Let the world be grey.
Let the moment be quiet.
Let it rain.
And just feel.

Because rainy days?
They don’t make me sad.
They make me real.
