a little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now...

she did not need much. wanted very little. a kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, book to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love & be loved in return. - Starra Neely Blade -

july 22nd || twenty thirteen 
it's raining to-day. i can't even recall the last time the skies decided to don a grey cloak, sigh, and brush the earth with rain drops. especially in summertime. 
two intense weeks of blocking, choreography, line-memorizing, and several run-throughs,  were wrapped within the final performance of the play last night. 
i wake up divided: free as a bird & hopelessly sad - the missing, aching type of sad. i am missing something - missing someone, nay - everyone i had been blessed with the opportunity of being with every single day for the past two weeks. a family in its own right. a family knit together with the strands of song and laughter and memories - missing the luxurious comfort that i wasn't alone anymore. with a long sigh, i step outside, filling the wispy breeze with my empty thoughts. 

exhale || the day had to begin as a show must always go on.
 inhale || petrichor smells bittersweet sometimes.

  14. I know just what you mean dear Grace. I have been blessed to part of a high school musical this year and last.
    The performance for this years musical is coming up just this weekend. It is indeed bitter sweet, especially as this will be my last year doing the production (since I've graduated from high school). I will miss all the wonderful friends, the laughter, jokes and hard work that have drawn us all together.
    Feeling the memories with you,
    Elizabeth

  15. I understand you dear Grace. I have been blessed to be in a high school musical this year and last.
    This years performance is coming up on the 2nd and 3rd. It is a bitter sweet moment though since this will be my last year with them (I've graduated). I will miss the wonderful friends, laughter, jokes and hard work that went into making this production magical.
    Feeling the memories with you,
    Elizabeth
