Daylight broke over the horizon. Light scattered across the wide, distant fields. Although it was early, the heat already hung heavy in the air. From my perch on our front porch, I felt a timid gentle breeze stir my long, brown hair. I tipped my head back and closed my eyes, breathing in the air. With a burst of relief, I realized that rain was on its way.
Weeks had already come and gone without a break from the vicious sun. Day after day after day, the main street and the park in Midville stood deserted. Sid, my sister, and I stayed in shady corners and in front of old plastic fans that twisted back and forth, back and forth. Conversations slowed, and our smiles melted.
Now, the breeze swept through the dry restless grass, whispering as it went. It began to move more quickly, stirring the heavy air. Within the hour, the whisper had grown to a roar. Trees bent in the wind. When I looked up, the sky opened, and the rain began to pour down. Beneath it, children danced.
I didn't know it then, but that single breeze would long stand out in my memory. It reminded me that even the worst times will pass. If I wait long enough, relief will come, just like the rain!
