Rain Puddles

They have no place to stay, no permanence, these casualties of warring clouds, but gather where they fall and collect, reflecting patches of the passing day, blue, gray, and at night distant stars. Their stay is but a day or two then shrink and disappear, taking with them piecemeal memories of what they could not hold on to. It will not be that way with us.

Thanks, J, for the generous compliment. Like a great painting, it's the details that hold my interest and awe. Thank you for the stop by. / Maurice

That last line is rather telling, is it not? A great read, Maurice.
