Under the warm blanket

I listen to the music of the rain

To the hollow percussive sound of its drops on the leaves

Above the luscious leafage of the trees

A moment of a drop

Out of its eternal showers

Slowly glides on top of one leaf

Clinging onto its felt-like surface

For another shattered fragment of time
And in the background, a lonely bird laments

The suffering-song of its existence
