Looked out my home office window a few nights ago. This is what I saw.
RAINY NIGHT A rainy, chill night Here in Manchester town. The empty parking lot Across the street Looks shiny black In the rain, Obsidian, polished Black as black Reflecting light, Like a Milky Way of stars. Electrified stars, Advertising stars, Neon stars, Street stars Office stars From someone Putting in late hours Working a deadline Or cleaning after hours, Not stars at all But imaginings On a wet, half frozen Expanse Of asphalt. -December 19, 2012 Chip Bergeron

A very visual piece of writing, I like all the adjectives and phrases that describe the shining black surface, the mirror-like reflection, the light that prevents you from seeing what lies behind. Very nice!

It's good that you see beauty beyond the obvious. You make me even more grateful of what I look out on every moment of every day. Thank you, Chip. Love and peace and best wishes to you,
