Between the Rain Drops

The city is awash with water 
Rainclouds above are 
pouring down rain 
on the urban dwellers
Between the drops there is humid air
Pools of water form
near the city sidewalks
Cars pass by with 
windshield wipers
beating out rythms
Between the rain drops 
The heart of the city 
is beating 
Thousands make their way 
through the downpour 
Undeterred they make their way 
to their jobs and back again 
Between the raindrops 
A splash of hope be found
Hope guides us 
through inclement weather
in this magnificent city 
Between the raindrops 
Urban love persists   
Lovers meeet and embrace 
in this city which is so diverse
It strengthens the soul

I love this, all of life going on during the rain. We take so much for granted but the world keeps turning, with or without us. Well done.
