Silver Lining
The sun rose more than an hour ago
But the morning is a dismal gray.
Windows are fogged with a clinging mist
Looks like we're in for a rainy day.
The sky is overpowering the sea.
Visibility is restricted.
Dune fences slick from hard driving rain.
Have been uprooted, torn, and twisted.
I struggled to keep an upbeat mood,
but my demeanor was sinking fast.
When out on the choppy slate gray sea
A pod of dolphins went popping past.
Slick silver skin, triangular fins.
Undaunted by inclement weather.
They frolicked and splashed in the water.
And right then, my mood got much better.
