The rain just washed away the dirt from the lane
every sleight of hand every trick in the game
the streets started swelling with "life" again
far away from here, its still peaceful and sane
with my hands in my pockets, my shoes painted brown
i started roaming aimlessly in this part of the town
the rain is forgotten now; in to gutters its water has flown
i stood at one corner, trying to understand what I've known
"are you fine?" said a voice softly from behind
I closed my eyes and I tried to freeze my mind
all the thoughts and memories it had; now purged and drained
to finally see that one moment as it was defined
Now walking slowly towards the canal, i started to sing
no new tune I could think of; its all going out of sync
there are times when its comforting not to think
not to try, not to fight ; just to succumb and sink
With inputs from Manasi and Archana
