"Surprise" ~ Five Minute Friday 3/18/16 #fmf

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.

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.

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, 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.
