One Rainy Night

I like the town 

On rainy nights,

Creating a curtain

between you

and my judging eyes.

Looking down upon you

from my self made high horse

Not bothering with Yin and Yang

Casting you in black

and me in white.

I like this town 

On rainy nights.

It is quite

and loud

With thundering clouds

No soul to be seen

No person, no crowd.

Just these beautiful abominations

we call our homes

drenched 

in a watery shroud.

And there is a peace

as I don't judge

and just rest my mind,

I like this town 

On a rainy night.

But 

there is something different today

Something not quite right.

I see the silence

just like always

but there is no peace tonight.

There is a restless turn

in the wind

The breeze, breathing

as if ready to take flight.

The roar of this Quiet...

Deafening!

This rustling stillness

Baffling!

From the watery curtains

of this one way glass

I see 

the strangest sight.

A little way down

At the end of the tunnel

I see

A bright, white light...
