February Rain

Gently as it falls, drizzling
On the roof came the tapping
Ti pi tip ti pi tip tap
“Whoosh!” blows the wind
Hustling its way to the treetop.

Trees sway while leaves are falling
Dances its way to the ground, spiraling
Sparks of light came burning
Like fallen embers, only glowing.

Lightning flashes like cracks in the sky
Thunder follows like drummers in line
Boomlay, boomlay boom!
My heart is pounding like a gong
Blood rushes in tune of a heaven’s song.

Tall grasses swaying as the wind blows
Droplets of water freely flows
Tap, tap, tap, splash!
Thunder crashes like a cymbal’s clash!
Lightning strikes like a midnight sash!

Storm came like the speed of sound
Leaves us suddenly in stillness and wet ground
Tiny rivers of heaven’s water running
Slipping, running and faster it is moving!
Faster, faster to the river where it is heading.

Up and up the sun is arching
Little by little the rain stops falling
Away and away, dark clouds are heading
Gentle breeze blows a feather, tossing.

Gently as it falls, drizzling
On the roof came the tapping
Ti pi tip ti pi tip tap
Until I hear the last drop
And the storm have come to stop.
