The Cottage

The cottage holds some of the best memories

Right by the ocean

I can almost taste the saltiness

The perfect view of the beach

stretching across the water

for what seems like forever

Beach glass collecting

looking for the smooth colorful shards

when it turns night

we light the bonfire

roasting marshmellows

on the warm summer night

The Beat of the Downpour

A drop falls from the sky, pelting the fine hairs on my head. I feel another tiny flake of water. More start to come. The sprinkling liquid crystals fill the air, drifting down to the ground and dissolving into the moist, rich soil.

People around pull out their brightly colored umbrellas. I stand and listen to the drumming on the rooftops of the houses. My hair is soaked. I close my eyes and observe the beat of the downpour. A thousand tiny droplets gravitate toward earth. Falling to the ground. From the clouds. The rattling and shifting of the rain. Rain.
