It’s quite deceptive, the sound of
applause.
I've always noticed how it reminds me of
rain.
But then, again, rain signifies the opposite.
But then, again, rain sounds like applause.
A thousand hands beating, pulsating, and a rhythm in appreciation.
It’s the sound of silence.
When words aren't voiced.
Being alone with someone.
Or being alone.
The sound of rain is the only thing that
echoes through the air.
It’s a shifting, phasing sound that
envelopes you.
Nature’s etude.
For you.
But you're still alone.
Or alone with someone.
In the spotlight.

Wonder how you come up with such beautiful lines, laced with rhyming words! (not only this, but your other poems too) It's amazing, really.

ReplyDelete'But you're still alone.
Or alone with someone.
In the spotlight'.... Too gud!! :)
What a beautiful metaphor - next time it's pouring I'll close my eyes and imagine applause. Perhaps the thunderclaps will be standing ovations. Loved it.
