RAINSONG IN THE CITY

“As the rain fell, I stood at the window, watching the city blur into a painting. Each droplet seemed to carry a secret, and the rhythm of the storm stirred something deep within me.”

The rain begins, a gentle sigh,

A silver veil from a tearful sky.

Each droplet dances upon the stone,

A hymn for the lost, the wandering, alone.

The rooftops glisten, the streets take sheen,

The world reborn in shades serene.

Windows blur with a liquid art,

Each streak a story, each smear a heart.

The scent of rain—earth’s quiet prayer,

Lingering soft in the heavy air.

A rhythm steady, a timeless beat,

A soothing balm for weary feet.

And as it falls, it seems to say,

“Pain will pass, just as clouds give way.

The darkest skies will always part,

For rain is the language of the heart.”

When the storm subsides and silence remains,

The world is brighter for the cleansing rains.

And in the stillness, the soul may see,

The beauty that comes from simplicity.
