A Rainy Day in the City

_{(Effect by DeepArtEffects)}

The rain falls soft, a gentle, steady beat,
Reflecting shadows, making pavements gleam.
The city sleeps, a hush, a rhythmic retreat,
Where drops of rain like pearls of silver stream.

　A lone figure strolls, an umbrella's shade,
　A silhouette against the misty haze.
　The world around, in quietude is laid,
　A moment's pause in life's relentless race.

The storefronts gleam, with windows wet and bright,
Reflecting skies, a canvas gray and vast.
The air is cool, a cleansing, sweet delight,
As raindrops kiss the city, soft and fast.

　A symphony of sound, the rain's gentle sigh,
　A lullaby for weary souls to rest.
　The city dreams, beneath a watery sky,
　A moment's peace, a moment truly blessed.
