Torrential Downpour

A torrential pour hath broken out
And the leaves begin to dance
Not a breath of wind to stir them
Though they celebrate this chance
 
The little leaves filled with joy
Are bursting at the sight
Of the droplets which from the sky
Fall with all their might
 
Pink and purple flowers hide
Beneath the covers of the leaves
The rats and mice, the cats and dogs
All cower beneath the trees
 
But at the height of these great stems
The branches begin to spread
Catching every drop that falls
Without an ounce of dread
 
The animals begin to move
From the cover from up above
And in one tree on the highest branch
Sits one pure white dove
 
Nature finally accepting fate
Without worry, without strife
Everything upon this land
Enjoying the drops of life

This poem was inspired by an unexpected downpour of rain at Rhodes. I looked out of my residence window and saw the rain coming down and the effect it had on the trees and animals that were caught off-guard. So I decided to write a poem about it.
