Storm SongBy: Lauri Schoenfeld
The tree branches sway and dance to the rhythm and motion of the wind,whipping them into a “cha-cha” dance.The leaves bounce to a beat, back and forth, one-two-three, moving to the fast-paced gust of vibrant energy they feel.The music changes and glides gently, oh so softly, to a whispering melody.It’s a light tempo like a ballet or classical song, a metronome holding five beats and slowly sliding to the other side.The tree branches speak for a moment, calm and relaxing.Then, the rush of drums and a fierce pace lead to the marching of a twisted and battle-like song—each beat preparing for what’s to come.“A storm is coming.”Raindrops hit the gravel as the aspen tree covers you in the vibration of the wind and trees song.
