azurelunatic | Sunrise, sunset

hinoai and I saw the same thing -- the beautiful sunset as the rain came in, with the clouds glowing all orange as the rain started sweeping down. The gods' fluorescent lights looked like they were due replacement, as the clouds were flashing on and off, white neon, jagged bolts arcing between clouds here and there, and every now and then a long bolt down to the ground.

I walked up to the bus stop from the mall feeling the wind, watching the sky, looking for lightning. Lovely sunset. Reminded me of home, only warm orange instead of flaming orange and pink.

As I waited at the bus stop, a single drop hit my right eyebrow, right where I would get it pierced if I was going to. As the rain got more pronounced, I walked for the little shelter and set my bag of library books and overshirt down on the bench, then stood happily in the warm rain, letting it shine my skin, soak my hair, soak my clothes. I loved it. My glasses got all fogged and splattered. Beautiful rain.
