I HEAR THE RAIN

I hear the rain

the symphony

the concert

and the audience of green

 

each drop a crotchet harmonized

rushed on by quavers

and the faces of delight

riding each crescendo

 

then diminuendo

perspiring with relief

and in simple belief of the sun

raising his baton

for the rain to stop

each and every raindrop.
