Cloud cover

Today I am glad to be able to see the spring changes.  Clouds help.  Somehow I am able to think more clearly, see more clearly.  I find more clarity when the light is not full in my eyes.

The sun is covered by clouds today.
I am thankful for the clouds
In the upper atmosphere.
They feel somehow more accurate,
More apropos
To this time of year.
I can see more clearly
What needs to be seen,
What needs to be heard,
Perhaps what needs to be done,
Without the static of blinding sunlight.
There is a chipmunk on the front porch.
He runs
From bush to bush.
I imagine hawks also see better
In this light.
Today the forsythia is bright
In the back yard.
Today I am grateful
For the clouds.
