Two Yellow Raincoats
Along a straight path beneath gray skies and spitting rain approach two yellow raincoats
Two yellow raincoats worn by two people with yellow souls
A woman neither young nor old
Enough life behind her to guide her steps
Enough left ahead to make her destination unclear but filled with hope
A man, hair white with age
More life behind him than ahead
More wisdom in hand than dreams left to pursue
Their two yellow raincoats meet
Hello says the man
Good morning says the woman
He nods
She smiles
Two yellow raincoats pass each other by
And for just a second sun meets sun
They continue on, each carrying their yellow into the gray
