Night Serenade

The wind rustled through the trees
forming a whispering melody 
the higher pitches made a whistling sound
while the lower pitches were soft moans
as the wind intensified and released
in harmony a song was created that
only nature understood
it continued with a definite rhythm
now accompanied by a drum roll 
as hands of  thunder joined in
they both took a deep breath
started their harmony 
enjoying a night serenade.
