Night Rain

Water drops splash down from the roof, tapping on the window lattices. Rainy wisps sway in the light wind, obscuring the distant lights. In the blur, only nearby banana leaves by the wall roots can be seen swinging back and forth, making rustling sounds in the night breeze. Occasional dog barks from the village edge sound especially clear and distant on this rainy night.

Raindrops knock on the eaves, streaming down the tiles in silver-white rivulets. Lamplight from indoors filters through the window panes, casting a ring of warmth outside. The wind blows by, swaying shadows of the eaves lantern on the wall, intertwining with the swaying tree shadows in the wind.

The rainy night is tranquil and beautiful, as if the whole world has quieted down, with only the wind and rain for company. The heart settles down in this night rain too, letting go of all the clamor and disturbances.

A peaceful countryside nocturne, played by the notes of raindrops and wind. We listen to this natural music, feeling the beauty of a purified soul after the cleansing showers.
