Wet Feet

I stepped out into the dark street.  The shadows of the stormy night danced in the powerful wind.  Puddles rippled and continued to expand as the rain poured endlessly through the night.  I Felt like a kid again; running and splashing in puddles.  I reached my destination, soaked through to my skin.  The smell of rain faded and my body felt stick and hot.  I turned the fan on and cool air soothed my skin.  I stripped down and crawled into my covers. I am still a child. I smiled, and drifted off to sleep.


Are you still a child?
