With my eyes closed, under the rain
As thunder rumbles overhead.
I feel alive; I feel insane.

The lightning is close, yet I remain
Standing there, both arms outspread
With my eyes closed, under the rain

This storm sent from God's domain
Fills me with energy, from Him I am fed.
I feel alive; I feel insane.

This feeling of power is hard to explain
Why bother to try? I stay instead
With my eyes closed, under the rain

This feeling of power, it flows through my veins
It takes over every thought in my head.
I feel alive; I feel insane.

This feeling of power I cannot contain.
It overflows as I stand frozen with dread
With my eyes closed, under the rain
I feel alive; I feel insane.
Messing with fixed forms again. This one is a villanelle.

I was sat staring at a blank notepad for ages trying to write a villanelle, couldn't for the life of me come up with anything. Then :iconlive-love-write:'s new prompt 'I'm Alive' showed up in my inbox and I combined it with no.30 off the 100TC - 'Under the Rain' to come up with this. Nice timing, #Live-Love-Write!

But wow.... I don't know what it is about when you write but I can always really feel your words... I feel like I'm out there standing in the rain and feeling powerful and insane and alive. I don't know why but your writing just always seems really strong to me. You must just have some power with words.
