Perspective Reflective Puddles

And it rained on me today Soaked me to the skin instantly I had prepared for it Worn a cap to keep my glasses dry A tee shirt and thin cotton shorts It was near the end of my mail delivery route To stand at cluster boxes for townhouses The mail was wet as I and hard to read after the first try Oddly enjoyable, waking memories of playing in puddles and Floating stick boats down rushing gutters Letting water run in streams on me Only washed free after the last delivery As driving back through waves of traffic wake To hope I’d find that place again For different views of life Reached from a happy place Ever laughing inwardly Enjoying the moment
