After the Rain Before the Afternoon

After the rain,
I'll just patiently
wait for God's sun
to stick his neck out for me,
collaborate with refraction,
reflection and a dispersion
of light for a multitude

of colors in the sky.

I know there is a seven in one somewhere.

I know these nimbus clouds will fade.

All of these showers are blessings 

to many, but only a few chosen 

will witness the phenomenon.

Before the afternoon,
I promised Son
That I would stick it through-
the proverbial ends;
and be sweet as gold.
This life tastes a good fortune.
That's how blessed I feel...
That's how blessed I am...
because luck can be
so wishy-washy.
It could be a no show or
show up just to
run out on empty.
