---

Thousands of drummers play their tune,

using my roof as their instrument.

Raindrops meticulously cover everything,

inch by inch, drop by drop.

The precipitation brings life,

quenching the thirst of the ground.

But with a small change in pressure,

a slight shift in temperature,

the showers transform.

No longer are they liquid sunshine,

they are a force, filled with destruction.

It has become a torrent,

firing water and power like ammunition.

The small plants begin to drown,

their roots unable to absorb enough.

The heavy rain doesn't last long,

however, the damage is done.

It created a deluge,

rushing over everything in its path.

The water escapes into the wilderness,

dissipating over time.

The storm calms down at last,

and the rain turns into a sprinkle.

By morning, all that will be left,

the only evidence of this attack of water,

are the dew drops,

dripping off the leaves...
