First, a drop
Then, another
Next comes a patter of rain drops
They tap lightly on umbrellas,
Slide off windows,
Creating a symphony of sounds
***
Then, as if the composer wrote in a caesura,
A gentle rest fills the air
***
Slowly, the conductor lifts their hands and the music resumes
In a second, adagio turns into allegro,
And Romantic to Baroque,
In the background there is a buzzing sound,
Serving as a drone,
Gluing the plain, black notes together into a colorful rainbow
***
One drop--the melody
A second--the harmony
It continues until it starts pouring,
Suddenly turning the piece into an impromptu
Fragile, dark, and fle
