Open to possibility

After many days of clouds and rain,

 I was delighted to see this morning’s sun. 

To the east, the sky was cloudless,

 But in the west — normally the province 

 Of sunsets, not sunrises — 

The colors of reflected light were spectacular:

 So surprising! Yet another gentle reminder 

 To be open to possibility; 

 That glorious things may appear 

When and where we least expect them.
