a story

there is man standing at the side of the road
gazing upwards towards the sky.

the sky is pouring like crazy but the old man
doesn't seem to notice it...

a girl holding an umbrella is about to pass
the same road with the old man beside it.
as she is walking, she notice another man walking.

the other man is walking on the opposite direction.
the other man passes the old man first.
the other man looks at the old man, nods his head and walks his way.
the old man looked at the man that just passed by and smiled
then looked again upward towards the sky.

the girl that notice the exchange goes up to the old man.
the girl looks at the old man then hands her umbrella to him.

the old man looked the girl, smiled, gave his thanks,
gets the umbrella and walks away.

the girl then takes the place of the old man on the side walk,
and then looks up at the sky.

thoughts:
the rain is the only thing for her right now.
standing outside is cold but she stands still
for the rain is the only thing that connects this earth
to the eternal sky...

dreaming:
standing still, outside the rain
there is no problem outside
she can wait.
because she's thinking if she's standing there still
maybe another one will pass by, to offer her a smile
and an umbrella to get by..
