rain / serenity / running


My sneakers as boats, as I navigate the flooded streets. Rain pelting, piercing shoulder blades, like electrical currents traveling the whole of my body. My breath caught up in the shock waves, as my body submits to the punishing. Torrents of rain filling my sneakers, watching water crashing, as the mapping of the pavement becomes my idyllic middle ground. Stripped down to flesh, coated in rain, serenity now. Sprawled on breath, I concentrate on the surrounding sounds: trickling rain, rhythmic whisper of breath, strains of my sweat carried on a breeze. Braced for the interruption of the puddles, as my feet enjoy the reverie.
Solitude of the dirt path I turn onto, profoundly empowering.....
