i rock

i rock
in my chair
on the porch
listening
to the rain
soft gentle drops
flute and oboe
melody of their own

i rock
in my chair
to my rhythm
rain quickens
sounds of brass band
thunder drums
echo
a moving sound

i rock
in my chair
to my rhythm
mind drifting
time not so long ago
brisk air could be
a welcome relief
to the heat
of the room

we rock
to our rhythm
soft and gentle
quickening
hearts beating
a thousand drums
vibrating
tambourines
relief
a brass horn
soft cymbal
contentment
engulf us
as it rains
