In 2009 which I was still actively blogging, a challenge was given out to our blogging community to write something about Music. This morning as I was sipping my morning tea in my flat, I could hear the waves lapping the shore and so I thought I would re-post the piece I wrote back then. The picture I’ve included was not the inspiration used at the time, but when I Googled an image to include, this one simply spoke to me.
Nature’s music…
Perfect harmony…
A symphony of raindrops
Can be heard on the roof
At first the pitter-patter
Is very soft, pianissimo
But as the drops turn to hail
The repetitive rata-tat-tat
Becomes deafeningly loud, a crescendo
As the conducting Moon
Changes phases
So too does its sonata with the waves
The adagio lapping of the shores
Hastens, accelerando, accelerando
To become a crashing march on the sand
In 28 days, the refrain will begin again
