The Gift of a Rainbow

The Gift of a Rainbow

Scurrying to work in the rain
Lists of things to do on my mind

Right in Front of Me
Downpours delay my arrival
Stress level increases

Traffic delays slow me down
I take a "short cut"

Which isn't a shortcut
I miss the turn

I notice

The sky is clearing

I could really use a rainbow right now

Ah! Gasp.
Intake of air and awe.

There it is right in front of me.
My wrong turn leads me on a path with a clear view of the growing display of beauty in the sky.
Right in front of me.

I turn off and park in a green neighborhood.
I get out, lean against my car, and revel in the delight of the morning gift.

What a way to shift a morning.
