Dancing in the Rain
Rain dance Splattering down on the path, on the grass, On the leaves in the trees Spattering up, covering everything There are some places underneath that remain dry Boots on, raincoat zipped up, waterproof trousers tied Step out into the stage, lights shine around, reflections of bolts that light the air Feeling the music inside, strains ebbing and flowing, lifting Feet moving in a dance, splashing into random patches of water, Cold pyrotechnical flares, that reflect and refract the flashing lights Whirling quicker, drops never sitting on the surface of the material, spinning outwards As I spin inwards Drums copying my feet Heart beating, face bright with laughter ‘Crash’ The light shatters the internal song, shattering the air with a thunderous applause Finish…..bow….head inside Such a performance Such a joyful experience
