Downpour

The lightning overhead
an instant light of the scene
daylight for a moment
in the midst of an incredible downpour

Boots falling like thunder
throwing puddles aside
as the man walks through the rain
heavy like the sky overhead

A wide-brimmed hat, dripping with rain
the steel, grey eyes peering out underneath
and a long overcoat
the rain slides down off his frame

His hands hanging down at his side
dark, black gloves without fingers
the rain, dripping
from his fingertips to the ground

A tinge of hair, covering his face
sticking out neath the hat above
dark brown with a hint of silver
seemingly young but aged

The flashes above give a hint to his face
dark and brooding
but perhaps this, a grin?
he stands as a mountain, mocking the storm
