Prelude to Rain
May 2, 2010
Piano-key afternoon
when chords pour and tremble –
wind across a prairie
sweeping clouds by and by –
a melancholy sigh,
at the burdens the heart carries.
The scent of lilies, wind-swept on a plain
and a single tear,
a prelude to rain.
A low rumble in the heavens –
a drum-roll, muffled
by cotton-ball clouds
slowly darkening from white
to grey,
as rolling hills of golden grain
bow low in the wind,
a prelude to rain.
