She Caught One Today - a Poem

Tweet

When I woke up this morning, I was not sure if looking out the window was a good idea. We've been having biblical-type rains - like in Noah's time - for day after day and week after week. Today I could hear no pounding of rain on the roof, so maybe looking out the window was an okay thing to do. After all, there was a whole lot of commotion outside even though the hour was early. I took a look. There was my neighbor, a nice lady even though she was ordinarily pretty much spaced out. She was obviously happy this morning - jumping around the big field in front of our houses. Up she'd jump, almost as though she were trying to grab onto the bright sun that was trying to peek out from behind those lingering storm clouds Can't we ever get rid of all this rain? Anyway, good for our neighbor lady. I think that she actually caught hold of something that looks to be hot, bright, and dry - and not at all like the usual rain we've been having. Sure is good to have a smart and athletic neighbor, isn't it? * * * * * * * * * * She Caught One Today The rains may come. The rains may stay, and down comes rain, day after day. The sun does what it can to try to chase those clouds and make things dry. Sometimes that sun needs help to break the soaking mess that rainstorms make. Suddenly there comes a spirit. Leaping, singing - Can't you hear it? Feet way up above the ground, hands both pushing clouds around. Now she grabs bright rays that shine, this dancing, leaping friend of mine. * * * * * * * * * * Image source - Pixabay, with addition by Gus Kilthau
