Notes About The Poem
This is a true story from about ten years ago. I was really afraid because the storm came up very hard and fast and I could barely see the freeway as I was driving home from work. Then when the rainbow appeared it was so moving to me because it felt like a small miracle!! It happened in a July and I wrote another poem a long time ago about it called One Day in July.
An Afternoon Twice Transformed
One bright afternoon,
The sky began grumbling as
darkness fell swiftly.
While rain pounded my windshield,
my heart matched it beat for beat.
After a small time -
darkness fled as my heart lost
its pitter patter,
and the brightening sky changed
to the blue of robins’ eggs.
Above the mountains,
a lovely bow stretched across
the sky in the east,
and my heart beat as softly
as its soothing pastel hues.
