Thunder as soft as a chicks down
Howling winds as light as a sigh
Everything fading to give room for the
Sound of rain
Ox-eye daisies sway and bend for the drops
Under and down as the volume crescendos
Nettles and vines
Deer and robins
Occupy their shelters
Focusing outside as the
Rain flattens leaves, fills lakes, and floods streams
All at once a break in the storm
Icy sleet gives way to a warm pitter-pat
Now listen, to the sound of rain
