A MOMENT BETWEEN RAINS
*
Mud squishes,
Threads curly-Q ribbons ‘tween and above toes.
Feet rejoice in earth,
Assure my psyche of roots in eternal soil.
Ears drink bird-cries of joy.
Eyes chew on nature’s early fall blush below threatening skies.
Distance passes beneath churning legs,
Lungs fueled by moist healing air.
I pull my heel out of an unseen crawdad den
And say a silent apology to its unsuspecting resident.
Reluctantly,
I head for home,
Back to today.
But better than I was…
Renewed of spirit, energy, creativity.
Gratitude abounds…
In a moment between rains.
