Light silvers
The surface
Of a woodland pond,
A fox drinks,
Nose to nose
With his reflection
Forest shadows
Deepen, lengthen,
As clouds rumble overhead.
Suddenly,
A summer shower
Passes on.
In the distance
Raindrops
Split the sunlight,
And the ultimate gift,
A rainbow of color,
Bursts upon the earth!
