And it rained...

Under the overcast sky, I waited breathlessly. For the moments of maverick bliss that would invariably come with the drops, which would engulf me in no time. The atmosphere was electrifying. Wind was ruffling my hair as I stood there with eyes closed, facing the heavens. The drops started their myriad descent and the thirsty soil embraced them in no time. Droplets caressed my cheeks; tingled my neck; kissed my lips finally drenching every inch of me. I was ecstatic; as I know it purified my soul. I lost all track of time. After what seemed to be an eternity of sheer bliss I felt the cold and cozy sheath of raindrops being lifted; gradually replaced by warmth. I slowly opened my eyes to a dazzling sun, who started peeking through the dark clouds. I smiled at him. And at nature, for being able to witness the choicest of pleasant surprises it has in store.
