Rain Dance

Rain Dance The rooftops appear slick reflective mirrors of the rain droplets large and globular flow down the rafters to the ground. Splashes of water tap brushing leaves and branches releasing dry leftovers that still cling long passed the chill slaps of winter. Glistening in pale yellowed light the trees canopy the scene waving in soft gentle breezes that waltz on the air. There is a drumming in the wind, a subtle rhapsody of sounds setting a patterned flow to some hidden syncopated beat. Stiff and silent wallflowers stand staunch, stationary and mute like stranded stickles and bladed greens unmoved by the melodies. More wily and free others dance unrestrained, frail loose stemmed beauties drenched in rhythm to rise and flow in the rain. Wind spinners spin unrelenting, rotating fast and slow wet with saturating drops loitering on the leaves and wind anxious to be part of May’s rain dance
