In the rain

In the rain

First came the rumble,
then came the boom,
followed by the torrent
of the most intriguing
rain I have ever seen
in all my life.

It was grey in colour,
and burning in touch
like the acid rains
of Osaka.

When the rumble
faded away to
the distant dark mountains,
I stood alone
by the stretching highway,
hoping to hitch hike
to a destination
where I can meet
my other side.
Yes, in that
dizzying downpour,
I stood waiting.

Hey stranger,
will you ever come
to take me with you
to the extreme ends
of my destiny?
