Rain

A brief love song to rain and nature

Tap Tap Tappity Tap
Tappy Tap Tap
Tap Tap Tappy
Tappity Tappity Tap

Rain patters on the windows
on the doors
on the gutter
on the roof
Calling to me, beckoning
such a becoming mistress

I must answer the call
I must surrender my reserved nature and celebrate my mother
who is present all around me

In the trees and the desert,
the cacti and the forest,
the ocean and the mountains
the highest and the lowest

Mother nature surrounds me
the smell of mossy oak my friend
no money, no rules, just me, myself, and my life

Rain surrounds me,
envelops me into her embrace,
and gleefully rocks me gently to sleep

Tap Tap Tappity
Tap Tap Tappy
Tappity Tappy Tap
Tap Tap Tap
