SOFT RAIN

 

 

 

Soft Rain on Fallen Leaves
for percussion
for Evelyn Glennie

   

Ten thousand raindrops on dry fallen leaves
Ten thousand momentary whispers in the night
One vast sound, shifting, swelling, fading
One vast silence within each drop

One thousand raindrops touch my skin
One thousand voices in silence
Standing still, movement surrounds me
Moving slowly, stillness remains
