Day Free Of Rain

the day free of rain
glories of spring continue 
sunlight through the clouds

moving through rainfall 
sunlight's grace hidden by clouds 
new cherry blossoms

under the raindrops 
falling upon the petals 
spring arrives anew

within gentle mists
the grace of springtime bursts forth 
new cherry blossoms

the joys of springtime
boldness of cherry blossoms
the rain grows warmer

within the spring rain
sunlight still feeding new life 
dancing in this breeze

life renews 
hints of leaves coming forth
the rain grows warmer

before the rainfall
feeling the grace of sunlight 
these wonders of spring

winter's grasp lessens
flowers reaching towards springtime
bird's renewed vigor

a day of sunlight
new life gracefully drooping
hints of spring's return
