Sunshine and Rain

At 18.33 yesterday evening on Platform B at Kings Cross Thameslink, the sun broke through the heavily pregnant clouds for less than a second. As it caught the outline of the rain each drop became instantly and uniquely outlined by a shimmering silver sheen. The rainfall seemed almost to pause mid flow, as if surprised and taken aback by this strange yet beautiful intrusion into it's otherwise obvious life. As the sun paled, the rain began slowly drift down, as if pulled magnetically to the dark, slippy high voltage rail.

A shadow passed by momentarily.
