Yellow and brown cobblestone lay soaking beneath my feet Small rivers flowing quickly inside every crack Water cascading through red and green leaves Greeting the earth, singularly inaudible, but together in shouts Pooling in the grooves of uneven dirt The trees stretching outward in the dark Dancing along the gusts, swiping fiercely about the air Wooden and metal chimes singing in the distance Leaving just small haunting notes echoing through my ears Glimpses of vibrations carried through the storm Moonlight traced patterns all around me Playing with the shadows of the garden Catching my eye every so often with subtle movements in the night Twigs snap under invisible feet as I sit still, watching Taking in all I can through the deafening winds, I close my eyes Swallowing hard I drift away to the sounds When they open, the winds are dying, the rain sliding slowly now Filling my ears with soft music dripping from the tips of flower petals Tapping rhythms all their own in the growing quiet As the rain stops silence sweeps through the cold; filling the night with clarity A strange sense of calm The wind song dies and I am alone again; wandering like a ghost in the garden
