there's rain in antarctica, rain in the amazon, rain inside the ******* bus where i'm typing this poem
(stupid ******* holes)
even in deserts, really it unites us, somehow everyone knows the pitter patter the melody of random drops
the rain i faced earlier was cold it was refrigerated; winds from alaska swept vapor from the deep waters and ended up as depression on the tropic belts
and it was depressing it was cold and grey the leaves of trees, which glow emerald after an hour of rain, turned into mirrors after an entire day under torrents and the world shared the color of nimbus
except the floods ****, there was floods the dirt of a dry summer and the dust of carefree days dyed the asphalt rivers mocha
and it was c o l d i had to brave the flow in hiking boots and my toes feel like ice cubes
âĶi exit the bus and enter a 711. i stare.
looking out in the world, i always feel like there is modesty within every droplet
i walked within a crowd huddling under umbrellas and tarpaulin and shop shades
with their heads down and their marches brisk
and i realized
there is no other sound but the rain
i have been to churches noisier than this
everyone was silent everyone was busy everyone had rain in their minds but i bet this silence is within them as well
maybe moore was right; maybe god is in the rain.
perhaps, if other than them praying for the hurricanes to go away, they are also praying within this serenity.
praying about the cold. the randomness. the suddenness of life.
if nothing at least it's music is calmer than any hymn
i stare more. the clouds are low.
******* hell, it's cold
it's always been cold these days. we should've expected the weather to share the same **** condition.
everyone's confused everyone's sad everyone knew this was their life now. though everyone's facing different things, in different sizes
it all washes down on us, cold and hard in the end, we share the rain
and me the cold rain won't be stopping anytime soon. i'll go out and brave the currents again
