"Rain drops keep falling on my head.."

What is it about the rain?
that leaves one feeling nostalgic,
reflective,
slow,
dreamy,
thoughtful,
emotional,
empty.
sleepy?
Is it about the weather that's cold,wet and moist?
Or the sound of the wind howling its way through the window gaps?
It is raining now.
Staring out into the nothingness but heavy drizzles and forceful winds.
What is it about weathers and how it affects a person mood-radar?
The atmosphere plays our feelings.
Its day-time brought into darkness by the rainfall.
On a Sunday.
No one is one the street.Very little cars roaming on the road.
On one end you have the homeless person taking cover under a shop lot.
You have the motorcyclists who forgot to bring their raincoats,huddled under a highway bridge.
you have the happy family cruising to their destination around 50-60km/h.
you have those without transport,waiting patiently at the bus stop or taxi stands.
The ones at home?
Just lay back, quit questioning and enjoy the image you see.
Rainfall is a peculiar thing.Everything out there becomes different.
Just as how different the world would be without light.
As to how different it is now when everything is wet.
