looking at the pouring rain I feel dwarfed

I inhale the essence of stray droplets on my palm

and I feel established within me

I look up to peep through the droplets

that cause my world to blur.

That streak of yearning

strays with the scattering twilight

chalks out a beam of wishes.

Strange are the ways of life.

I search for you in words

spoken and unspoken

I find you smiling where I never looked

am I surprised?

yes and no…
