My Memories of Rain

in #nature6 years ago (edited)

@kchitrah was proposing a prompt to write about today, in relation to how our weather is today- cloudy and rainy. I immediately take it because my mind is kind of blank today, but still wanting to post something! So, thanks @kchitrah, you saved my day!

Rhythm of The Falling Rain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
And rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
Oh I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

When the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
When the rain comes

I don't have too many memories of rain, not many that I can recall. I bet no one can resist the best experience during rainy days, which is taking a nap and wake up naturally from it. I would love that too, especially that I am dozing off in class now after having an action-packed morning.

However, this is a song I would sometimes think of, an oldies from the Casades, Rhythm of the Falling Rain. I remember I was introduced to this song when I was 7 years old in a concert in my English tuition centre, International Tuition School. The older seniors presented this song with a guy giving a rose to a girl, to which she took and went away. I remember all of us laughing at the scene, even me, one of the youngest as I was in prep class, the youngest class of the school. I loved the song's melody and till today, sometimes I still hum to it. Simple song, but I feel it is uplifting though the lyrics isn't, haha. Because of this song, it made me like to sit inside a place or cafe, watching and listening to the sound of rain with a cup of hot chocolate. That would be so surreal!

I generally don't like to get under the rain, directly opposite from my husband. I'm like a cat who doesn't like to get wet, if possible. Okay, I searched my memory very hard to find there was an interesting memory of rain when I was under it.

I used to go to the library a lot when I was younger. My parents would drop me off at the library with my friends either to read or hangout for hours. There were two public libraries right adjacent to each other, thus we would walk from one to another. Very often, we would take a break and go for ice-cream before going over to the other. There was one day after we got our ice-cream and we're on our way to another library, I spotted the weirdest phenomenon ever. I saw the sky in front of us was raining but right at where I was which was not far away, I was on dry land. I was amazed looking at it, telling my friend how strange it was. It was almost like a glass separating us from where the rain was. It was quite beautiful to me.

However, it did not occur to me that the rain clouds would come over to me so I was still slowly walking and admiring the rain I saw right in front of me. Yes, we got drenched because we didn't avoid the rain, still mesmerizing the illusion that it was not on us. I really hate getting soaked but that was the only time I was laughing with my friends, with our ice creams still in our hands and ran to get shelter.

Hence, I guess that would be my fondest memory under rain. I still don't prefer to get wet. Haha. Even now if I have to go under the rain to get things done, I make sure I have the biggest umbrella I can get with me whenever it rains. So, great big umbrellas would be a happy present for me.

Thank you for reading through my post today! I love the fact that rain refreshes everything on earth and gives life. Always love the dress I can find on plants after a good rain shower.

How ironic that I should find myself reading your post while it is raining very heavily in Subang right now.

Tough one for me if I were to attempt a freewrite based on the word "rain". I don't have many specific special memories when it comes to rain either.

Very interesting memory! That does sound like something that I would stop and stare at especially as a kid. An area with downpour and one that is dry. Both in sight.

Great write up! Thanks for sharing this memory with us!

Wow your quality comment, @branlee87!! I actually dug through my memories and it took a while for me to recall.

I know right? Anyone would stop and stare I guess. It is also rare for me. Thank you for taking time to come by and drop a comment :)

No problem! You took the time to write such a long and good post I can at least take the time to read it and comment :)

Haha me weirdly like the smell before the rain. The "earth" or soil smell they said. I enjoy watching rain fall. But same like you, i dont like to get wet in the rain too. 😄

Hahaha the smell before rain Huh? Interesting! I like to sit inside and watch the rain, that would remind me how free I am Hahaha. Thanks @michelleloh168 for coming by! :)
