The Awakening

The early Spring rain
pounded the crusty sleepers 
from the All Seeing Eye of Dawn.
Like a conductor raising percussion instruments;
the rain song joined the cacophony of wind
and the crackling sound of Spring ice 
sprung from it's earthen entrapment
rising mist like toward the heavens.
