the day mother nature made me smile....

back in january

while i was living seaside in the panhandle

there was an afternoon

that caught me off guard

i had just finished my lunch

when i looked up

and

felt the air around me change

i grabbed my camera and ran into town

and

watched while mother nature played with her crayons

well

only her grey crayons

and

like a dolphin jumping in and out of the ocean

she was dipping them haphazardly

in a large glass of water

dampening them just enough

so that she could

smear them everywhere

on everything

~

i couldn't get enough of her painting

i reached my hand out

and

i could touch her art

~

i could feel her art landing on my face

~

the dampness

the cold

the grey

and

as quickly as mother nature and her grey crayons appeared

~

they disappeared

~

and

fifteen minutes later when she brought back her whole multicolored box

of crayons

to work on a new piece of art

with a huge sun that reached down and tapped me on the shoulder

i

was disappointed

~

sometimes you need a grey day

and

this one just hadn't lasted long enough
