Patter
First comes thunder from afar,
Grumbling disapproval low,
Warning as it lumbers on,
Of an impending lightning show.
A tiny breeze begins to blow,
Then sashays through leaves and grass,
Til branches quiver high above,
Responding to her windy sass.
The first platoon of droplets lands,
Creating their own puddles, small,
Creatures head for nests and holes,
And for buildings safely walled.
Once inside, protected, warm,
We sudden know what we have found,
In the rythmn of hypnagogic rain,
We are all, by nature bound.
