Rain

In my opinion, the greatest thing to fall asleep to is the sound of rain.
Right now it is pouring outside, lightning flashing in the sky,
The rain thrashing against the window as the blinds move harshly with the wind.
Yet as angry as this may sound to you,
To me it is relaxing,
Something about it makes me feel different.. in a good way.
Maybe because it is a sound associated with such emotions.
One thing I always think about is that eventually it will ease up.
The rain will soften.. bit my bit.. until suddenly.. it ceases to exist.
And then slowly, the clouds will move away.
By morning, the sun will once again shine,
And all will be in it's rightful place.
And every once in a while, one may even be blessed enough to encounter the beauty of a rainbow.
In some ways this process is much like life.
Harsh things happen to people,
But everything always turn around :)
