Some Scenes

Rainy Day

I sit on my bedrooms window nook, looking outside.

"It's quite bright and clear outside today", I mumble to myself.

I admire the sunlit building while being in a comfortable pose, imagining myself being one with sun, whatever that means. I've been trying to meditate and find my inner peace but so far, with all this silence, I can only concentrate on my billion, gazillion intrusive thoughts.

  "I wish it wasn't so quiet", I bring my head down with distress, "I thought meditating would be fun and peaceful, but now I feel stressed out that I can't meditate." All the heavy silence make me think many things and distract me from doing my task.

The booming city below my 10 story apartment building makes many chaotic sounds. The more I think about the sounds, it all gets louder and louder until it's deafening.

Then, I overheard a whisper of rain drops falling from the clouds that weren't there before.

That's impossible, the sky can't simply become sunny to rainy without someone noticing beforehand.

I beam with disbelief while the rain over powers the sounds of the roaring city below me that once made my nights and studies sleepless.

The sound of the pounding rain made my heart thump with it, I could feel the synchronized vibrations of the droplets- almost singing a composed, poised song.

I was so deep into figuring out what the rain was trying to tell me, I almost didn't catch myself tapping my right foot lightly with the rain thumps.

Humming to the music made by the rain made me grasp a piece of  tranquil i've never felt in a long time.

Even though the sunny day was silent and bright, it should've made me happy and serene. But sometimes sunny days aren't for everyone.

I realized even though you are content and joyful on sunny days, on one of those days, you also need a rainy day.
