My Perfect Getaway
I smile as the rain falls
Drip... drip... drip...
Gusts of wind blow in
Sounding like the ocean
But I really know it's not
Since we're landlocked.
Music in the background.
Pen and paper in front of me,
Breathing the smell of rain.
Singing along with the song.
I stare at the stormy grayish blue sky.
It's so peaceful
As the birds chirp
And thunder roars.
Life and death collide.
It's perfect...
Just, perfect.
