springtime piano lesson

sometimes, looking out a third story window, distraction strikes
I imagine myself floating freely with the clouds
bobbing and diving with the swallows
dodging falling raindrops, reflected by flashes of sudden sunlight
rejoicing in a welcome spring shower

caught suddenly daydreaming instead of listening to a student
my attention focuses on youthful sounds imitating music
I remember the wind's gusting melody
the swallows' song, rain tapping gently against the window
piano music mixed with spring rain
