A Haiku For A Rainy Night

this hard, cold rain
flowers in December
a street light flickers

the rain falls gently
garish lights raging above
a moment of peace

early morning blooms

boldly standing in the cold

“

brief moments of light
damaging the perfect dark
winter’s nearly here

along the water

the breeze carries the salty air

my grandfather’s voice

the morning darkness

this unwelcome wakefulness

morning quietude

a view to the west

looking over the water

calmness of sunlight

rain held back
clouds hide the sun
a rose glowing

moonlight through the clouds
the wind’s grace bringing it forth
dreams await me soon

sitting, pen in hand
crafting poems while it rains
glorious coffee
