Light Always Returns

After the heavy rain, the sun came out
Leaves stuck to the shining, wet, pavement
Others glistened in patches on the lawn
The brook rumbled fast, like a river
At high level, it is racing somewhere
It is time for things to dry for a while now
As the brightness brings pleasant relief
              Light always returns
Know this, live by this, to spread all you can!

So true Heidi, the calming light after a storm. Hope you didn't get caught in it. Tom

We did get heavy rain overnight. The brook has risen, just about overflowing here on this street. Thank you for the kind comment Tom. :)
