i watched it rain from a distance. where i was it was overcast, the sky was grey with patches of blue. but to the west it was raining...

it is a peculiar thing to watch it rain from a distance. you can only tell by looking at the clouds, but there is no mistaking it is raining. the clouds reach down toward the ground in dark black streaks. and the way that they streak makes the sky look like someone tried to smooth out the clouds, like when one smoothes out frosting on a cake, and no matter how hard you try, you can still see where the knife pulled the frosting across the top.

it also reminds me of how mascara looks on your face after you have a good cry. it gets all streaked and watery looking. so to me it looks like the clouds are crying.

and i must say, it was a strangely beautiful sight to see...
