Melodies And Rain Poem by Barry Middleton

A melody's familiar grace,
transforms the southern breeze,
that rises from the eastern Gulf,
abandoning the Keys.

A somber note the wind reveals,
comes just before the storm,
a rhapsody of youth and hope,
where thunder clouds perform.

A mournful oboe and a flute,
in sweet and sad duet,
frame vibrant overtures that fade
to omens of regret.

For such it is on somber days,
when summer storms arise,
and rain's forgotten harmonies
come drifting from the skies.

Then elegy will have its way,
with memories left behind,
as tropic winds begin to blow,
and stir the pensive mind.
