Rhythm

Tap tap tap tap tip tap tip tap, tippit-tap, pat tap, tip , pattt! The rain raps against the windows of my car, and it opens me up. Tap tap tip tap, patap, patttaa-tapp, in a rhythm. My mind becomes clear and I drive. The windshield wipers slish-slash in tandem with the rain, and the engine roars to pull us up a hill. I'm in the clear, and a million miles away from the wet concrete and steel. On a mountain top, or in a river. The energy is intoxicating and I want more. The window opens a crack, and the wind rushes in. I'm blown away. I play a song that crunches the sounds together (yes, it's a Metallica song "My Apocalypse").
There's thunder in my soul now and I'm ready. For what, I have no idea. But there's a smile on my face and I'm racing to work (figuratively speaking, I'm a safe driver). I want to share this passionate moment with the world. For now, it's just the steering wheel and the tires that hold the road tight. Every moment should be like this. Who needs drugs, I am so damn high right now (I'm a geek I know).
My time is limited and I want to tell you fast. Fast, that's it. Act! When you know something or think it. Waist no time. Feel the rhythm! Go, baby go!
The music gives me strength and inspiration, and I roar like a lion! I wish I could package this (always marketing, ha!).
I caress and work out my demons, but I make sure to have more muscle then them. Remind them who's in charge, but we are all friends.
The rain, it's mystical. It tap-tap-taps for you. It leads you, it soaks you, it makes you late for work.
Run through the rain with your arms wide open.
Feel the Rhythm!
If it hasn't happened for you, maybe it will one day. It happens to me all the time. It's a blast.
Feel the Rhythm!

Stay Dry. :)
