Raindrops Are Dance Steps

Raindrops are dance steps

trip-skipping on rooftops

run-weaving down windows

to an incessant beat

Sky sobs more to join them

as thunder rolls rhythm

and lightning claps in time

to that imperfect beat

World sighs as rain drowns it

flood falls to the music

wind partners with storm

to this indelible beat

Rain drops down in dance steps

rap-tapping the rooftops

slip-sliding on windows

an incredible beat
