Finally yesterday we got that beautiful and refreshing blessing from the sky called rain! H2O falling graciously on the ground kicking the heat's butt and filling my lungs with refreshing oxygen again. I went outside and looked the sky, the thunders were screaming in victory and the lightnings showing their almighty power. In a matter of minutes the street in front if me looked like a tiny lake and the wind messed my hair.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I let the soothing sound of the rain drops caressing the leaves flow through my head like a sweet lullaby. My skin felt relaxed and my body felt light. Heaven, I felt I was in heaven!
You see, this year has been hell on earth here in my island. The heat is been hellish, literally hellish! Is like living inside an active volcano that doesn't wants to cool down. Temperatures of 44°, 48°, 50°C is the new normal here. Imagine that 24 hours straight for 8 months... well, 9 months cause is already September... Rain is very rare here lately, the wind is very hot, you can feel the steam coming out of your body and all you do is sweating non stop.
People says that the Caribbean is a paradise... Paradise my butt! Hell hole is more accurate! I almost faint last Saturday... 50°C, freaking 50° C! Sometimes I make jokes about me having fire instead of blood inside my veins but seriously that's how it feels sometimes. Like if I will self combust while walking outside! So for me rain is more precious that anything in this life! Jewels, gold, money, even love... All that is bullshit next to rain! Cause when you spent 9 long months with 44°- 50°C temps everything seems like bullshit if it is not rain or ice!
Rain is the new gold in here and those water drops are little gems, the most precious ones that carries life with it. The rain is over now, I already miss it dearly!
