NIGHT RAIN

Its raining on the streets ‘way down below
Greying the city skyline and places where to go
When a few lights shine bringing warmth to rain’s flow
Its time for a walk in the rain to see the city glow

As long as one is dry and warm
Walking along street by street  
An urge is there to seek the midnight hour
To create a time for the mind to  think

The patter of rain and the clarity of its sounds
Open vistas of thought walking through crowns of light
That streetlights shine on the sidewalks at night
No matter the downpour when dreams take flight

A walk on a rainy night not limited  by clock
Is measured in quietness against others who talk
For thoughts being alone can be of richer rock
As being out in the night rain is not marred by any lock
