rain....
strands of rain..
like a shadow
like a cold embrace
she traced her fingers on the windshield of the car. the fogged windows, the lines made by the water drops...
the paper boat
the drenched white petticoat
the long lost childhood
she sat back, lost in the rain
he looked out, trying to make out the penetrating yellow light beams. the winding road. The sleeping tea beds on the roads sides, enclosed in the blanket of mist.
warmth of a coffee mug
fresh Jasmin flowers after the rain...
the wet umbrellas
the overflowing paddy fields
the traveler he was. the crazy paths he trampled. the slow moving cars, the old man with a black umbrella. the stacked logs on the side of a roadside hotel. the lorrys stopped for rest. the gentle kiss of his leg against the throttle pedal. the soft feel of raindrops against his stubble.
the silence is more heavy
than the weight of a thousand words
she looking out, lost in the rain
he looking out, trying to find himself
and they - they traveled along, in different tangents but bonded by the physical presence...
the flowering grapevines...
the rain draped mountains...
and the long winding road, lost in mist...

I liked the idea of parallel world they experience..
And the expressions like traced finger on the fogged windows.. passed the old man with an umbrella.. make it more real!
