no shadows today
for the sun is hiding
please move away
clouds of gray
I want the sun
to come out and play
it’s our last day
where the palm trees are
and my shadow
wants to join me

sun
white puffy clouds
bright blue sky
palm trees too
a day made for dreamin’
though the sun
played peekaboo
sighing sighs
the happy kind
serene smiles too
unwindin’
from the inside out
vacation days
go by too soon
real world thoughts
try to intrude
not yet
go away
it’ll keep
awhile longer
today is for palm trees
even though
the soon to be bare
maples and oaks
wait for me
at home

I am in love with the light this fall. This morning’s sky looks like a pastel drawing. And yes, I hung out of my oldest son’s second story window to take this photograph from above the treetops. I took the screen out long ago for moments such as this. Just know, it’s better in person. Changing in brightness, hue and warm orange glow before my very eyes. I’m greeting the sun with a smile on my lips and good morning wishes for you. ~ Janean

shadows and silhouettes
as I look out the kitchen window
before the sky is bright
I see the neighbors rooftops
silhouetted against the dark of night
the shadows gradually lessen
the silhouettes become more clear
for the sun is now up
and morning
is here

good morning
the sky is still dark
the stars are mostly out
a few are hiding
behind the clouds
the sun will be waking up
soon

I’m enjoying the pouring rain
as the clouds let loose
and water pours from heaven
today has had a bit of everything
gray sky moody broody
blue sky with wisps of white clouds
sun shining
sun hiding
sunglasses on
sunglasses atop my head
sunglasses tossed aside
for the rain is pouring down
my mood has varied like the weather
not always neatly aligned
tears while sun was shining
laughter in the rain
today has had a bit of everything
my heart aches
my chest is tight
it’s just one of those days
I’m enjoying the pouring rain

the volunteer
at the farm
the sky is crazy cool today
cotton ball clouds lined up in rows
neat and tidy
like a field with furrows
to the left I see but brilliant blue
where the clouds are few
they are all in the right sky
on this Mother’s Day
makin’ me smile
all the while
as they float, merge and blend
different now than they were then
the sun shines upon my face
soon at church we’ll sing of grace
and read of the Lord God high above
who made the firmament
which is crazy cool today
I’m doing my best vampire impression today by hiding from the sun lest it burn my achey eyes. Early morning headache is some better. Thankful.
