It's nasty out there today! Very wet. Staying dry is on everyone's mind. Working in electrical at Lowe's I see a lot of wire. So this poem, by my favorite poet-Carl Sandburg, fit with the day today:
I am a copper wire slung in the air,
Slim against the sun I make not even a clear line of shadow.
Night and day I keep singing-humming and thrumming:
It is love and war and money; it is the fighting and the tears,
the work and want,
Death and laughter of men and women passing through me,
carrier of your speech,
In the rain and the wet dripping, in the dawn and the shine
drying,
A copper wire.
-Carl Sandburg, 1916-
A copper wire sits in the rain, all day night; it never quits working, well, almost. Even though it's nasty, wet today, God made it so the sun always shines again, to dry things out. Have a warm, sunny day on the inside! :)
