Poem
It rained off and on throughout the evening..the streets that morning were still wet and by the look of the clouds blanketing the sky…it wasn’t done raining yet. But I took a chance and went for a walk…hoping fate and luck would keep me dry Besides…I love walking when the clouds are low…where I can reach up and touch the sky. And if it starts to shower…as from my many poems you may have ascertained… I enjoy the morning just as much…when walking in the rain. So off I walked in the morning silence I’ve become accustomed to.,, when suddenly in the darkness I heard… somewhere in the trees above me…the song of a mockingbird. One bird who, like me, rose early and ignoring the dark clouds in the sky decided to sing her morning melody…while hoping to stay dry. So I stopped to listen to this bird whose voice was both beautiful and strong… she paused in the middle of her concert and asked if I wanted to sing along. I thanked her but declined…because…I told her…here’s the thing… “Your voice is so just beautiful…I’d rather listen to you sing.” Her next song was a sad song…so sad when her notes floated up to the sky the clouds, too, felt her sadness and they began to cry. And there we were…just the two of us…in a morning I won’t forget a bird and a man who were hoping to stay dry…now happily getting wet. It was a concert I thoroughly enjoyed…even soaked down to my bones… because she did not stop singing…and I refused to let her sing alone. As I walked home when she finished I thought is there a better way to start my day a nicer way to be entertained…. than listening to a mockingbird… give a concert… in the rain.
