Rain on a Tin Roof
By Jacob Miller
The sky rains glass, shattering on the roof
Deafening yet soothing, white noise
War drums beat in the distance
While a light show plays in the clouds
The trees sway to the tune the wind plays
As the glass falls upon the leaves
A celestial hammer strikes the ground
And the sky echoes a resounding chorus
The lake moves to the will of the gale
Its surface rippling a thousand times over
The child runs to his mother for comfort
Scared of the hymns and melodies of nature
Though as everything in life must do
The song soon comes to an end
Saying adieu to its captive audience
With a variegation of shattered white
Powerful imagery!
