In the Rain by the Sea

There I was,
On the sand
With my umbrella
In my hand
And the rain pelting down on my face.

There I was
By the sea,
With a reason
To be me
Watching the wind and the waves in a wild race.

All alone
Standing tall
Daring to be there
Daring to be small
Just there under skies so gray.

I
In a storm
Nature
In her most expressive form
On a cold wet September day.

The sky
Was vast
The lightning
Fast
The sea an eternal stretch.

I was small
The world was huge
I was soaked
In the deluge
One lone figure in the blue gray swirling sketch.
