Rain on a tin roof

 


The sound of rain

upon the tin roof, taps

like fingers drumming,

it raps a rhythm.

If you listen closely

to the wind rushing through

the rustling leaves.

Echoing

like a guitar strumming.

The sound of thunder

in the distance rumbling,

like cymbals hitting a crescendo.

The orchestration of a tornado

as the stormy winds blow.

The hurricane howls a vocal,

a wail in the hailstone sky.

Slow and deep,

low it creeps,

before picking up speed

and screeching

until your ears bleed.

 

Then the sound of silence.

Still, nothingness.

The steady vibration

as your ears clear.

Popping, as the pressure drops.

Here in the eye of the storm,

serenity washes away

the waves of anxiety.

for just a few brief moments.

Enough to breathe clearly anyway.

 

Then the sound

louder than ever before,

a wall of noise roars.

Pushing right

through your body,

Through your soul.

Reverberating the bones,

shaking your atoms,

ears screech in pain.

Blending the blood in your veins.

Rushing, crushing, clanking sounds,

scratching nails down a windowpane

the sound of a drill bit in the ear.

Twisting deep into your brain.

Then it starts to slow, easing off.

The pitter patter,

of raindrops, 

bouncing off

a tin roof.
