Stop For What’s Beautiful

The day after bungee jumping
Sophie and I hike the
Luskville Falls Trail …

At the top of the
Small mountain
It begins to rain
And we find ourselves
Running to head to
The car again
To avoid the lightning
That would definitely
Cause us pain …

We’re hit with a few drops
Before the doors close …

But here’s what’s beautiful …

As we’re driving
We witness a double rainbow …

So, I pull over
And we stop to take pictures …

Just as I had to wake
And write this poem …

We must stop for what is beautiful.
