April PAD Challenge – Day 7

One thought on “April PAD Challenge – Day 7”

1. 

   Urban Rain

   I remember the rain at night
   in a city lit by streetlights and neon.
   The deluge comes
   and now the dull dark streets and walls,
   alight with harlequin reflections,
   shimmer like a sequin-crusted valley
   perfumed by the aroma
   of damp asphalt, cobblestone, and brick.

   Older now and living
   in a smaller pleasant place,
   the rain is simply wet and muddy,
   a change of pace
   and often welcome,
   but not as mystical
   or mysterious as I recall
   those many years ago.
