Today Rain Walks
Rain walks on lanky silver feet
Through halls of stone and glass.
He patters on the concrete;
Pelts people as they pass.
Music sings of love lost, love found
Barely audible beneath the torrents
A soothing rhythm, that beating sound
Of people mimicking rain’s currents
Sorrow, dullness grips people tight
That sluggish trafficking of city streets
Streetlights shed their dirty light
On subway murals and treading feet
Rain runs inside, despite shut doors
He makes his way in homes and schools
He tramps upon the marble floors
Through businesses and market pools
Rain whistles out a merry tune
He ambles with a kind of sass
I don’t know if we will meet soon
But I know it will come to pass.
Through halls of stone and glass.
He patters on the concrete;
Pelts people as they pass.
Music sings of love lost, love found
Barely audible beneath the torrents
A soothing rhythm, that beating sound
Of people mimicking rain’s currents
Sorrow, dullness grips people tight
That sluggish trafficking of city streets
Streetlights shed their dirty light
On subway murals and treading feet
Rain runs inside, despite shut doors
He makes his way in homes and schools
He tramps upon the marble floors
Through businesses and market pools
Rain whistles out a merry tune
He ambles with a kind of sass
I don’t know if we will meet soon
But I know it will come to pass.
