Early I walked,
*
As the rain came bold
From a heavy sky
The drums, they thundered
Inviting me to dance along
Yes, I said
Without ever asking why…
*
Soft and steady
Stronger now
On and on they fell
My footsteps, and the rain…
Droplets gathered
On the tip ends of the trees
And not a word was written
Not one, not by me
*
But, they are waiting,
Closer than you think,
Can you hear them rolling in the thunder
Do you know them warming in your soul…
*
Slow yourself,
In a delicious kind of way
And, let the rain sing to you…
*
Let it take you in
Become a part of it
No longer a page,
Of broken notes
Instead,
….a song…so very whole…
It is enough to dampen your skin
But not your spirit,
Everything it touches
Echoes with a different tone
A harmony of melodies
Heretofore unknown
Discover yourself
…wandering,
no longer in the woods
but, through the very music itself
raindrops gently on the leaves
and the bark
and the pine straw floor…
here a piano
there a violin,
drums to the heavens
cellos to the depths
and yes…even upon
your soft wet skin…
the stage is simple…
the composer unseen…
and you the only audience
to this song of a lifetime
played within a dream…
Early I walked in the rain…
*
And so it is,
That I wrote
Nothing at all…
