Looking out the front window
the great big picture window
across the ponds in the driveway
across the wet highway
soaked fields just harvested yesterday
past the line of wilted sunflowers
green lawns
to the house across the way
where the oaks, maple trees and others
blaze brightly at their edges
golden fire burning into the green inside of themselves
not doused by the light continuous rain
cars going by
school bus
A flame that doesn’t go out even though it is raining
I can still blaze with my own power my own energy
hey
even if there is a gloom around me
recovering from tonsillitis
Praise the colorful trees on a gloomy day!
