Come, lets have fun

Come, lets listen to music at the bus stop,
on a rainy,
wear your rain coat
and your galoshes
cause its gonna be fun...

The Dramatics, tunes playing in my mp3,
"A Song For You",
"I have been so many places in my life"....
standing at the bus stop
early morning storm,
rain boots,
umbrella,
rain coat;

I take off my hood,
exposing myself to the elements.
rain drops "big", cold,
race down a crack in the back of
my raincoat.
Laughing,
as they race down to my shirt,
leaving a cold wet spot.
Smiling,
happy,
I love the rain,
on a early morning,
winter, spring, summer or fall,
I love the rain.

The cold,
reminds me that I am alive,
the wet,
makes me shiver,
I alone, can appreciate this life,
this life alone,
not captured,
free....
where to now?

I am like the monster from
a children's story, scaring the
innocent, reminding the tormented.
That life is but a moment,
come out and play, live, even
if its just for this one moment.

Remember when life was
easy and free, when we did not have
the restraint of being the person
responsible.
Come and puddle jump with me.
lets dance under a cumulus cloud,
and feel the hair stand on ends to the lightening, and thunder.
Lets dance, like nobody is watching,
lets laugh with zeal like a child, in a park
playing.

Even if just for a moment, this moment;
a moment in time, that will last a life time
in our heart, in our mind.
Even if just for a moment, we have
the memory of just this one feeling that is good,
and rich and fun.

Come,
it will cost you nothing,
just a bit of your time,
you can do it alone,
or you can do it with a friend.
