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
