There is music in the air!
Beyond the silence of this still, summer day.
Behind the restless calm of motionless leaves
From the grey depths of patchy clouds,
Rains down a sparkling melody.
Pulsating claps, of thunder.
Bursting forth onto this earth
A flash of wistful lightning,
Startling away the gloom of dark clouds.
This rain is so alive,it kisses on to the driest
grass and brownest leaves,
Life anew!
The rhythm has changed now.
No longer a gentle melody.
It's the flamenco dance of the Gypsies.
A frenzied dance, to the notes of lustful youth.
Whirling around rocks and trees,
Swirling round my bare knees,
My excited, beating heart keeping time
With the escalation of thunderclaps.
Suddenly,through the blackest of clouds,
Pierces, one golden ray.
One single beam of pristine sunshine,
That waltzes through the falling drops
and shatters, like colored glass,
into a rainbow, on the other side of my world!
