Memoirs: Monsoon

🎱GAME!!! What year is this writing from? Hint: between 1998 and 2017

I began in the hammock watching the lightning and feeling the wind, then came upstairs watching the birds eye view and opening the window to the hard core rain when I smelled it then it hit...ahhhh I LOVE this...MAN do I love this

Layers of clouds rolling in

I've only heard a little thunder

But the lightning is surrounding me here

I sit two stories up

Smiling at the wildness and the sunset behind the sky

Monsoons in July

the flashes of sky fire and swelling clouds

hide the light that's left of the day

But every once in a while I get a glimpse

The wind is rattling the windows

Sending the dogs to my side

But we're not scared

We're just using the show as an excuse to get closer.

Soon the rain will come

But it's a good rain

And a fresh rain

And it cleans everything off and takes the dust out of the air

again

And I can smell it coming

Like I can you

In my mind...

Two of the sweetest smells in the world

side by side, I'd like them

I'd like to be one with the lightning racing through me

Until I feel the wetness bathing

the desert landscape

With you inside and outside

In the rain and under the electric flashes

and sheltered from it all at the same time.

The freedom of the raging wind and ecstasy of the storm

taking over every piece of the world here...

Here comes the rain...the droplets slamming the window now...coming four feet inside the house

Like you into me after all this time

And how it is with us

Life changing and simple

Alive and soft

Loud and all encompassing

all at the same time.

I lie back and let the storm wash crazy over me

And I love it for what it does to me

And how it feels

And everything it has brought me that I didn't have before.

All at the same time.
