The Sonata of Gentle Spring Rains

Pianissimo rains evoke
A calming, repetitive refrain
Adagio con dolore

Far off thunder interjects
Percussive interest—sforzando
Mem’ry of dreams diminuendo

Texture bred by blust’ry wind
New born leaves sing contrapuntal theme
Tremolo melancholic

Scent of newly wakened earth
From death life’s motif is born
Harmonious accelerando

Muted rains soothing my troubled soul
Sound, scent, soft water renew
Consonance sostenuto.
