Of Sunshine and Raindrops
Things seem so clear at times.
At others they 
are vague and murky.
I’m much more at ease
in me,
while at the same time
I’m uncertain as to 
where I belong.
So I breathe and settle,
accept and allow,
stretch and widen.
And, sometimes I’m treated
to magical moments
such as a rainbow extending
from rocky cliffs to vibrant trees.
One that is so low to the ground
you can see through the layers
and it makes your breath catch
in that really good way.
And I realize 
this vivid beacon 
 could only happen 
with an ideal mix 
of sunshine and raindrops.
I’m so very grateful
that I was in the right place
at the right time
so I could soak it in
with a quiet grin,
let the accompanying sensations 
saturate and soothe
in whatever ways
they will.
