City Rain

_{(Effect by DeepArtEffects)}

The rain falls on the city streets,
A steady beat on concrete and stone.
The sidewalks shine, slick and wet,
Reflecting neon signs alone.

　Umbrellas bloom like colorful flowers,
　People hurry beneath their domes,
　Seeking shelter from the downpour,
　Finding solace in their homes.

A lone figure braves the storm,
No umbrella to shield their head.
They walk with purpose, face set firm,
Lost in thought, or nearly dead.

　The city sleeps beneath the rain,
　A lullaby of drumming drops.
　The world is quiet, washed clean,
　A chance to pause, to make new stops.
