"On Rain" 
written by: Sue Leerhoff

Drr-ip
Drr-ip
Drip

Steady, slow and soft
Faintly tapping on the windowsill

Perhaps silent for a beat or two
then resumes it's gentle song

Beckons for an audience
as it dances on the rocks

Soothing rhythm
Refreshing sound

Gathers in puddles
Shuddering softly
across the ground

Thunder echoes
Lightning awakens

Tranquility interrupted
by heaven's fireworks

Clouds thicken
racing towards each other
Rolling in turmoil
over which way to go

Breezes hurry
unsure and restless

Trees sway
whispers and shivers

The sky is the battleground
Who will win this time?

Nature pauses
but a moment

ZZzz-ip
Zzz-ing
CRR -ack

Brilliant whites
emblazon the blackness
Showing off
it's energy unleashed

Clouds grumble in dissent
growing angrier by the minute

Uncontainable
They all collide in unison
Erupting in an orchestra of chaos

Furious
and
Captivating
Rain

Peter Pan

I don't know about any of you - but sometimes life feels like a movie scene.  The one where you are grabbing for the swinging ladder and as you finally grasp the rungs... struggling to climb on... all of them give way and you go tumbling into space......   So this blog is not from Tinkerbell's point of view,  Not just a sprinkle of fairy dust and Happy Thoughts.  It's more like from a blind beggar wanting to show another blind beggar where to find bread.    ↝ Stories from the journey of my life  ↜ written by: Sue Leerhoff   ↝ follow me on my Facebook page ↜ - Brick by Brick
