Tapping Thoughts


The rain taps on the metal
like reminders, not to forget
Those sunny days that seem so rare
always return to dry the wet

Puddles of mirrors on the ground
Quiet reflections, left to see
I find the peace just by looking
at these pictures in front of me

The weather changes, liife changes,
in a minute, hour or day
I remember when the sky is bright,
there's  time to celebrate and play

Maybe,  I'll tap dance like the rain
The mirrors will return a smile
As the warm sun beams shine again
I'll celebrate another mile

'Tap dance' -- What a creative response to a gray, rainy day, Heidi. You are the irrepressible 'sunshine bunny!' Huzzah, Gershon
