Journey Home

through the pouring rain
under the lamp lights
hardly seen at all

dodging the droplets
found in the bright pools
from bulbs set so tall

through concrete jungles
muted in colours
spot lights on the walls

speckles of sheer light
illuminating
this cold scene for all

these lonely figures
drenched to the skin
appearing so small

puddles developing
across the sidewalk
trekking becomes a haul

amongst blue and gold
darkness flows around
isolated we`d fall

so as we trudge on
through the wet evening
heads down, a slow crawl

under the lamp light
hunched against the rain
walking home through it all
