Arc of Delight
The leaves are still wet
from the rain.
It came unexpectedly;
a brief shower.
One side of the street was sunny;
the other side rainy-
then, all at once, it stopped;
sidewalks glisten in the full sun.
Now, an arc of color streams
against the bright blue sky.
It reaches from one edge of the horizon to the other,
a vibrant gift to brighten my day.
