Cloudburst

Over the city - rainclouds People walking on the streets feel the steady beat of the raindrops As the afternoon passes weary eyes turn homeward Somewhere in the distance songs are being sung Tunes which bring happiness to a cloud - covered city Urban dwellers await each note with great anticipation Joy is something we can take delight in If we open our eyes and ears To the many universes Which lie beyond our urban home
