Waves

Softly, gently, ebb and flow
Smile warmly, no where to go
Little raindrops falling on our heads
Watering our flowerbeds
Quiet tides rolling on the beach
"Come play with us," they beseech

Dripping and dropping, telling us that
It is raining dogs and cat
Big fat drops rolling down the roof
Soaking all that's not waterproof
Flooding, pushing, stirring the street
Yelling and chanting, "We won't be discreet!"

Thunder and lightning, a crash and a bang
Alarm bells ringing with a clang
Raining, icy drops biting our skin
The devil paying us back for our sin
Crashing waves tipping over a boat
"Don't you love the sea?" the waters quote

Slowly, slowly, the storm slips away
Promises of a better day
No more raindrops, not for now
The clouds leave us with a bow
Moods improve along with the sky
The water waves, "So long and goodbye."
