Rains in the city

City skyline
Dotted by grim concrete
And the grey tar and metal
filling the space between

But there's a scent of rain in the air
And the city is no more
an uninspiring picture
Painted in monotonous shades
Of routines of sorts

There's some green off the railway tracks
And colours clashing in spray
Of dripping umbrellas
Going this way and that on the sidewalks

The skies are a reel in motion
Grey clouds seem to be moving low with a frowning threat
While white rather subtle in their intentions
Skip the anger higher above

But closer into an urban life
Rains are a break from the routine
That is gnawing away at the spirit of their impulse

The water pouring down
Helplessly to the destination where gravity intends
Touches lives of thousands on its way
Giving life to the weakening sense of adventure in their souls

The quiet girl
Walking down the street
Embraces the celestial gift
Giving her rationality a rest
As she goes walking in the rain
With every drop
that slithers off her skin
Letting the fears of conformity
Wash away
With fallen waters
Rolling off into drains
