Commune with me…

come and ‘hang out’ in this world with me

Box Seat

Lately I’ve heard so many complaints about the rain.  It’s come so often that most of us fail to see the beauty in a wonderful storm anymore.  I’ve been especially grateful for those who have expressed a love for the wet weather.  I feel some of that!
Still
and silent
with all around me
I wait
watching lights
flicker
on and off
on
on and off
–bright lights.
Finally
come bass drums
low, very low
and farthest away–
coming muffled
as old echoes
struggling to reach horizon’s edge.
Tall shadows
whisper
and dance
as the beat of all drums
stronger grows
to crescendo
of movement and light
as the world resounds
with falling
chords
on leaf, metal
and hardened ground.
A nighttime symphony!
–So glad I left the window open.  :D
