A Sprinkle of Light

Forsythia blooms

Dot the formerly brown bush:

A sprinkle of light.

Sun and clouds dancing

As light breeze shakes the limbs;

Cautious cardinal eats.

Wires, mountains and clouds

Intersecting silently:

April afternoon.

The sky grows darker

As rain clouds gather their strength

Sweeping off the sun.

Through the slatted fence

Solitary soccer ball

Has field to itself.

Shadows on the road--

Here one second, gone the next,

Great uncertainty.

Rain drops are falling;

The weather forecast was right

And I will be wet.

A passing car stops;

Driver offers me a ride.

Wonders never cease!
