Summer Rain

Standing on the sidewalk, Underneath the trees, My ears can hear it talk, Murmuring with the breeze, Every drop hits the street, Running in it's own way, Raining down it's own beat, A song it just wants to play, I can feel their dancing feet, Near mine on a summer day. Written - June, 27th, 2014
