~Dancing in a Raindrop~

I hear a far off drumming,

Starting to begin.

Sometimes the storms,

Just takes my breath away.

And takes me in….

Rat..a…tat….tat,

Rat..a…tat….tat,

And my mind just drifts away,

To other,

Long ago days.

Splash…splash…splash,

Oh, I was so fast…..

Each puddle got bigger,

…and bigger,

As the rain fell drop by drop,

Underneath it all,

I felt so small,

But I wouldn’t stop.

I didn’t care if the mud was all over me,

As I flew,

The rain would just make everything shiny and new.

Even though the mud made me feel grubby,

Just like the paws of my little puppy.

Rat..a…tat…tat,

Rat..a..tat…tat,

Skipping and jumping,

Taking my wind.

The rain would fall,

Taking me in.

Those were the days ,

Our adventures would begin.

I’d ask,

Do you want to go outside and play?

And his tail would wag & sway.

We would dance and play,

Dancing in the raindrops,

Throughout the day.

Rat…a…tat….tat…

Rat…a…tat….tat….

Here comes the rain again,

Now feeling a warmth within,

Remembering,

As I feel the raindrops,

Whisper against my skin.

I slowly go back in,

Closing the door,

Knowing tonight,

I would dream of raindrops galore.

And dance within the raindrops,

…once more….

Rat…a…tat…tat…
