Summer sounds

Summer is a symphony of midnight storms played by an improvised orchestra. 
Raindrops on a tin roof set 
a syncopated 
rhythm. Percussion. 

Slowly, softly the strings come in. 
Then the winds through the trees. 

A sweet oboe solo drifts above the rolling thunder of a 
brass baseline              in the distance. 

It must be a marching band that plays; they 
grow softer as they 
float           away              with the parade.

I've been thinking about summer lately. Looking forward to sleeping with the windows open and listening to the sound to summer storms.
