Was disappointed that it was
Raining.
The fall color had finally made its
Appearance and now there was no
Sunshine to highlight the hues.
And the forecast is for more of the
Same.
But the focus for our entire study has
Been "contentment," so rather than
Complain I pulled into a parking lot near
An especially vibrant clump of trees.
The rain couldn't hide or disguise the
Glorious painted leaves so I just ignored the
Droplets and stared intently at the
Muted beauty.
I stopped long enough to get my
Heart filled up and then I drove on,
Thankful for windshield wipers on a
Rainy fall day.
