Ripples in the Rain

Bounce, bounce, swoosh, the highlander leaps tall into the sky,

Twirl, twirl, flip, the acrobat jumps across the bridge,

Tippity, tippity toe goes the ballerina on the shore, 

Until...

Slower and slower,

Lower and lower the procession goes.

Dripping down the tree branches, the flow couldn't be stinted.

                                                                                                For,

One moment you're sliding along,

The next second you're standing still in the rain: Watching your life falls apart.
