Raindrops cling to a Calla Lily at Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, California.

Raindance

By Alex Baranda

The clouds are swollen with rain in the sky
Covering the blue with patches of grey
The sun hides just like a maiden too shy
Giving the stormy clouds the right of way

The rain clouds burst into tears from above
Showering the fields and meadows below
The flowers look up to welcome the love 
Dancing like ballerinas in a show

The dark grey clouds empty out all the rain 
Dumping all their frustrations underneath 
The cold wind joins in huffing and puffing 
Blowing into all corners with its breath 

The rain empties down on a gloomy day
But like the flowers, just learn how to sway
