Raindrop Rhythm

Every drop speaks a word

Spoken once as for all;

Together can babble a brook

Or roar a waterfall.

Around a blue swirly world

Of clouds mowing like a herd.

Voices all together

Are sure to be heard.

But it stars with a single beat

So don't cry when you fall.

When clouds loom overhead

It is time to sing.

A note in a chorus

To sooth a burning bridge

Harmonize with tears

Flowing down each icy ridge

In the winter of a soul

When cold edges run sharp

And frostbite nibbles

On the strings of the heart,

Recant the words

To the song you sing

Etch them into snowflakes

As gifts to the ground in spring.

Dissonant or not

The rain makes a song.

Even if nobody asks you

Mind as well dance along.
