DANCING RAINDROPS

As the parched earth sighed
Mother nature orchestrated
The grandest show on earth
Thunder rolled on invisible drums
Cymbals of lightening clapped
As dancing raindrops lined up
To cool down the heat of the sun
Curtains of  dark clouds parted
As dancing raindrops twirled
And descended unfurled
Smoothing out the rumpled leaves 
Sliding down window panes 
Smoothing out those heated frowns 
Dancing raindrops whirling into town
A raindrop catching it’s breath
Sitting on a blooming flower
Sparkling in the twilight hour
Raindrops hurdled together
In little muddy pools children 
Splashing laughter so  cool
Catching silent raindrops in
Little hands with little help
From the wind reeling out
Raindrops from a giant spool!
