Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Spring Flower

beneath the sunlight
as raindrops fade into mists 
the songbirds cheer me

as I look skyward
memories of sunlight glow
this gentle spring breeze

darkness

the song

of streetlights

silence
between raindrops
streetlight's domain

as dawn advances 
across the cold morning air 
dancing through the waves

entering springtime
moments of new life growing
the motion of time

in this darkened sky
dominated by the murk
and the rushing clouds

gentle rainfall
taps upon my windows
and rooftop

darkness of late night 
sounds drift from my neighbor's house 
right past the streetlight

the grace of springtime 
moving against the cold air 
gentle morning rain
