Water Music
Hark, Hark,
the Rain! You might have heard it recently. Yet, when was the last time you listened to its music and percussion
sincerely?
It thumps, it taps, and
sometimes it just ticks lightly with time like a ladies’ wristwatch,
it even
beats with your heart – but oftentimes against it. The different pitches of
rain on the concrete street, rain on the tin roof, muted rain on petals and
leaves, rain pizzicatos on puddles, trickling glissandos through the gutter. It is sheer water music. And oh, to dance with the rain! It’s nature’s
unpretentious ablution. The last time it
rained, were you too engrossed with the sky’s ashen tone or sulking under an
umbrella? Ask not for whom the rain
falls, it falls for thee… for if there were only sunshine… where would your
rainbows be?
