Post 999

Did you hear it this morning?

At 3 AM or there abouts
I awoke - -
Rain drops? were
pat-pat-pattering
their rhymthmic beat
On our metal roof.

A soothing
hypnotic chant
requiring one to
lie quietly; letting the sound
massage
the ear? the
Brain.

Not so relaxing if one were out-
side at 40
degrees, no coat,
nature pellting you with cold shards
of precipitation.

perspective;
its where you are
that colors
your page.
