THOUGHTS

We're about to have a storm.
The rumbling clouds
that spent the afternoon
homesteading on the horizon
are finally rushing in,
as if to make
a sneak attack.
I go out on the back porch
outside the dining room door;
the cement is still warm on my bare feet,
while the brisk breeze cools me.
Un-asked-for comes the thought,
If ice cream had feelings,
would this be what it's like
to be a huge scoop on vanilla
on a still warm piece of apple pie?
The first tentative drops of rain
plop onto the cement,
and I wander inside
to wait out the storm.
This is part of Love, Feelings, and the Seasons of Life, looking for a permanent home.
