Lenten Journal: Something Poetic About Standing in the Rain

There is something poetic about standing in the rain
Caught between the sun and moon
As both do shine

There is something poetic when one looks up to the sky
The rain falls while the sun and moon both do shine
In humorous contrariety light radiates

There is something poetic in a gathering encircled by rain
Standing between the sun and moon
Light from both do shine

There is something poetic in the glistening of the red wheelbarrow
Glazed in the rain as the sun and moon both shine
While the earth quenches her thirst

The end is inspired by "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams. His poem reminds me how something universal may be found in the mundane by simply observing it through the eyes of a Creator.

The poem is my attempt to capture the moment of standing in the rain while the sun shines from the west and the moon shines from the east.
