Rhythms of the Night

Silence traveled through the darkness as the wind whispered for light
 Then the sound of raindrops broke through the quiet night,
 And in the tenebrosity, its cadence played until the break of dawn
                                           ~~

Lin Lane Date: 1/5/2020 8:56:00 AM In these three lines you've successfully set the stage with the right props for your thoughts, Joseph. I could imagine myself in the dark, hearing only a whispering of the wind as it increased, and then the rhythm of rain drops. It describes a night I would welcome, for I love the sound of rain.
