Rain Men

They never knew each other Will never meet in life again For two hours were brought together Four men stuck in a rain. Same shelter they chanced to come to Strangers all they were Each with other had nothing to do No relations of love and care. They started to talk about weather How they were halted by the rain Soon chatted like friends forever Who had met after a long time again. The strangers caught in the downpour got so many things to say Unfamiliar men trapped in common distress Who would soon disperse on their own way Never carrying the memory of their face. But here as the rain fell in ceaseless torrents The four souls worked up a tenuous bond Not minding fragility of those absurd moments A rewarding camaraderie they found. When the rain stopped for them to depart They went their way with cheerful smile There was no sadness nor any aching heart They were happy to be together awhile.
