The Sound Of The Rain by Mrs.Yayuk Kurniawati

The wind blows, brings fresh air

Brings drops of water into the thirsty earth.

It showers the thirsty trees and grass

Drops one by one solemnly on the gasping land.

I heard the rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop

I heard the rain drumming on the window,

I heard the rain battered against the trees,

And I heard the rain pelted the lakes.

They gathered into a melody of a rain,

A symphony of nature.

But, suddenly it breaks by a roar of awakening

A roar of nature, a roar of thunder.
