Time

Ripples formed in the lake as drops of rain crashed into it, creating a small shower of droplets. All around trees nodded in time with the wind, the rain accenting the motion every time it hit the lake. Reflecting the darkened sky clouds painted the surface of the lake, moving and writhing with every beat of rain. Ending as quickly as it began the rain stopped, leaving only the ghost of its presence as the ripples in the lake slowly died down.
