Raindrops (poem #440)

In the night, the trees shake

the wind dancing on the leaves.

A quiet murmur, the hoot of an

owl and the scurring sound

of a mouse in the grass. The clouds

gather, and a low grumble of thunder

causes a few to wake and wonder.

The sounds of pattering raindrops

dancing on the leaves echo through

the air, a quiet hush.
