Rained last night
winds shifted from south to north
relentless heat and drought
broken
The river path wakes
the world floods with joyful noise
the wild things sing and chirp
happy
Yet, the promise of fall in the air
signals that happiness is fleeting
but just now, this moment
is enough

Sanki, Wichita, late summer

Running

Running this morning
in the dark,
a light, chill rain falling,
my upscale (discontinued, on sale)
rain jacket breathes
(just like me).
Listen, the river is running too.
Glorious!

Thank you for this lovely image. I have been a runner for many years and have had many sublime moments while running, and indeed found many of those to occur during so-called "adverse" weather conditions.
