And the sky opened up
She was dreaming
And the rain began to fall
She left without anyone knowing
The warmth of the house replaced
With sweet cool rain falling
Her dress became heavy, in a wonderful way
She skipped to the main road, humming
No one was there in the downpour to hear
But she didn’t care, the trees were listening
Her hair became wet, thick ropes
The road became a river, flowing
Underneath her bare feet and she danced
She began humming, her dance quickening
The raindrops became heavier and heavier
The rain fell harder, and she began twirling
The drops and her feet made craters in the street
Faster, faster, went the girl, in her own world, dancing
Faster, faster, went the rain, pounding on the real world
She was dancing
They slowed down
She was finishing
And the rain applauded.
