The cloudless cerulean sky stretching in all directions.
The whispery turquoise roadside wildflowers,
seemingly not beaten down by constant raging, passing vehicles.
The breathtaking, surprising difference to our
mundane ordinary.
mundane ordinary.
The midwest hue of green
unlike any we've seen before, really
Impossibly neat acres of corn,
hundreds of acres...
thousands?
Blowing by windy interstate
following the ribbon of road
and
the red,
the classic red
and silver capped
silos.
and silver capped
silos.
They stand like distant sentinels
For time marches on.
We'll remember this only
when we reflect back.
Not a cross word
or
a tense moment.
Those seem to be evaporating already.
No surprise there.
No surprise there.
No, those memories that glow....?
The vapors of moments
and
the layers of time?
Those will shine
with the grace and the quiet and the togetherness
that we feel right now.
I know they will.
