The small, gray-barked tree,
splotched with white and
speckled in green moss,
waited.
**
She waited until the
sprinkles stopped, and
as the sky broke from gray
to brilliant blue,
she waited -
for me.
**
As she waited, now under an azure sky,
she bedazzled her tiny buds
with raindrops,
knowing her glistening crystals
would spark a light in my eyes
as I walked by under the now blue sky.
