Jewels of my Mind

with the rain falling
gently from darkening skies
jewels within my mind

walking in the rain
memories of icy winds
glories of wool coats

sun upon the clouds 
skies clearing after the rain
brief moments of joy

rain upon my skin
underneath the cloud's motion 
red Chinese lantern

joys of coastal life 
the sound of waves in winter 
sparkling sunlight

the cool winter's rain
gently descends upon me
these branches laden

starlight fading
frost upon the grass 
dawn progresses

walking under clouds 
sunlight warning my cold hands 
suburban living

the morning darkness
dawn still below the mountains 
as I seek stillness

rain's sparkling jewels 
gently illuminated
under the streetlights
