Carl Setzer

Seattle’s Skies

Misty clouds drifting
Stretched by fir and cedar boughs
Grasping longingly

And so, now Friday
Relief for so many souls
However briefly

Darkness expanding
Growing from hidden places
Sunlight fades anew

Staring from within
Push past fearful reactions
Outwards our focus

Life arcs towards the light
Seeking freedom from sorrow
Bitterness wanes, too

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening

Sunlight upon skin
Driving me to the outdoors
Promise of motion

Grey clouds against me
Calming my mind and soul
Strange tranquility

A life with weirdness
Unusual and unique
Creativity

Lost within songs
Dank and dreary mist fading
Sunlight heals all things
