Carl Setzer

Berries in the sunlight

berries in the sky
crows waiting for me to leave 
to begin their snack

cold wintery air 
walking over sunlit sand 
freedom from the wind

I'm glancing eastward 
as the evening progresses 
biting autumn air

within the cold air
and sunlight gracing  my skin
oh, the memories!

rippling puddles 
flickering in the streetlight 
a break in the rain

just a few doors down 
ambulance's flashing lights 
early morning prayers

gazing at the dusk
light dances upon the clouds 
awaiting night's grace

autumnal progress
food provided for the birds
with the air cooling

as dusk approaches
changing leaves upon the breeze
sunlight turns to rain

underneath the mists
colors spring forth from the cold
autumn keeps moving
