A Rainy Day


A Rainy Day


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Small packets carrying sounds breaking cadence on my roof

Punctuating thoughts that languish

on platters nourishing my day

spent with this unspoken companion,

 an odorless trifling messenger

goading green things

into pleasuring smells,

and elevating my mood to                                         

pensive reflection.

Born in gray tumult

 seeking errant lumination,

 they prism light

into  delightful, phantasmic arcs.

I rush outside for a better look.

My skyward face wets around a smile

as I share secrets with myself,

giggling at God’s sustaining gift to my senses.

-2012 Jerry Wendt
