Rain Vision

Peering through the lattice chains 
Of transformed lucent windowpanes; 
The pelting water blurs my view
Of lights down on the avenue.

Racing droplets filled with light,
From flashing neon signs at night;
All sparkle, bubbling up like soap,
As jewels in a kaleidoscope. 

Pounding torrents fast then slow,
That splatter, splashing to and fro; 
Cause panes of glass to smear and streak,
While moisture levels reach their peak.

Then passing on, the shower goes,
With all its dazzling diamond shows;
And, as the raindrops disappear,
The view again grows plainly clear.
