After six days of overcast,
it's restorative to see
the blue dome of sky
emerging from the gray,
and dripping with sunlight.
Sunlight that sparkles
from rounded raindrops
that cling to the undersides
of yellow Sugar Maple leaves
gathered on the ground.
Raindrops that magnify
the prominent veins
that once brought life
to the leaves when
they were green.
