"How Do Ya Like This?"

with a midday, march sun driving

wind-whipped water in the inlet sparkled like shards of broken glass in headlights

azure in the middle along with the the greenish hue of antifreeze at the edges where it danced with ancient boulders cooked for ages by a solar, microwave oven

you could just gather god leaning back, smiling and blowing a kiss

as he eternally whispers, "how do ya like this?"

God admiring his handiwork, and so he should. Nothing like sunlight dancing on water to lift the spirits. Beautifully visual and much appreciated Pete. Sadly some people do not see what we see.

I enjoyed this because it was totally not what I expected. Such a serene, peaceful scene, but described with the most jarring things like broken glass, antifreeze and microwaves. It left me very conflicted about what god was really doing that day.

was just trying to capture what i saw and felt that day - this is what spilled out. i often write in a conflicted way letting the reader decide what to think. i looked back on what i had written and had the same thought about it as you mention. none of us really knows what he's up to anyway - as they say, "he works in mysterious ways." thanks so much for sharing ... :)
