rushing into the rain

Posted on by 

this is the part of the walk I mark
when the sky grumpy all afternoon
could just as easily clear

that instant when
it could still be fine or storm
familiar as your up or down
daily attending that turn
from balmy to squall 

that instant when 
it growls and downs its load upon 
the families scurrying for shelter

that instant when
i go the other way
rush into the rain
as I have always 
fallen into your pain
The photograph captures a wet, paved pathway alongside a body of water, likely the sea, under an overcast sky. The composition is dominated by the pathway, which angles into the distance, marked by bold yellow and red lines, creating a strong leading line. The muted, cool tones of the water and sky contrast with the vibrant painted lines, and the overall mood is somber and serene, evoking a sense of quiet solitude by the coast.
