Away.

Where after years of dreadful dehydration

Comes rain.

Sweet rain that nourishes your soul

Seeps in through your skin every so gently,

Supplying you with the moisture and hydration

You've been longing for ages.

It feeds the hungry plants generously,

Pouring down like a motionless waterfall.

Ever so effortlessly, it cleanses you

Of all negativity and struggles,

Providing the feeling of complete cleanliness and serenity.

Now you're pure, reborn.

Like the rain soaked

And destroyed

Every page of your past,

Leaving you with a fresh page turned,

Ready to create for you a life of glee and fulfillment.

Every drop of rain

A reminder

Of each opportunity,

Each possibility

Awaiting you.

Nature's pleasures, full of purity and serenity all ready for you,

At the heart of-

Away.

Where the sudden flare of lightning

Brightens the entire forest,

Illuminating every crevice,

Every grain of soil,

Every innocent wildflower.

Where the thunder growls loudly from above,

As though the clouds are consumed with rage.

And although negativity is usually tied

To such emotion,

You can't help but admire the peculiar beauty of its fury.

While in deep enthralment of nature's countless characteristics,

You find yourself standing,

Arms spread out wide like wings,

Spinning

With your head tilted upward,

Savouring every drop of golden rain.

Utterly dumbfounded

By nature's majestic magnificence,

You get carried away

And suddenly everything is a ravishing blur,

Skipping and twirling through soggy wildflowers,

Nothing but your current joy and satisfaction present.

And you think to yourself,

'What better place to be than a place where every flaw is of sheer perfection?'

What better place to be than-
