I want to...

While driving through a storm in the weekend this just welled up in my mind. The wind whistling past, the rain drops pelting on the windscreen, the swaying trees and the blast on my face and my hair blown all over made me want to break free...

I want to walk through a storm

Break every fetter and norm

 

I want to get drenched in the rain

And wash away the pain

 

I want the wind blowing on my face

While I run at my own pace

 

I want to wrap around the cloud

Feel free to sing out aloud

 

I want to inhale the scent in the breeze
Dancing with the swaying trees

 

 

I want to embrace the cold air

In awe just stand and stare

 

I want to be in an impossible dream

Never hear reality scream

What are you waiting for? Go and do it, having said that you would not have much of the kind of weather you mention here in INDIA I guess.
I can understand your wanting to do these things as they are a cleansing, nurturing and comforting gift from the elements.
I love the imagery you created, I can feel the wind and rain on my face...
Love,

Interesting how those moments take place in our minds, especially if we are driving the car. The way you phrase 'I want...' repeating almost makes me feel as though you are reaching out to try and grasp elusive freedom to be 'elemental'; to be part of the natural way of the world and experience the turbulence and uncertainty. Then there is that final phrase:
'I want to be in an impossible dream
Never hear reality scream'

Perhaps it is not an impossible dream - and maybe the scream of reality you never want to hear is a different reality than the one you wish to reach out and claim. Well done.
