Softly raindrops fall on window panes,

The dripping sound is soft and sweet

What could be as beautiful as rain?

The sound, the bounce, the tapping beat

Just like animals trapped in cages,

The raindrops push against glass like bars

Only gentle in its early stages

And glistening faint like dying stars

When suddenly an aggressive pounding,

The rain it pushes, bangs and hits

A crashing sound that’s so astounding,

The rain it laughs, it slams, it spits

And then so slowly fades away,

The sun it locks it up

Until it comes back another day,

To couch in lonely tulips.
