Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

After the rainfall

after the rain squall 
laden branches bent downwards 
gravity's demands

after the sunset 
fir boughs moving in the breeze
the windchimes singing

morning rainfall 
washing the dust away 
soon comes the sunlight

barefoot through the grass
with the dew cooling my toes 
breeze through the blossoms

after the rainfall
droplets gather on petals
sunlight through the clouds

crows calling 
through the morning mists 
petals gently fall

modern dilemma 
I see all my hopes and dreams 
behind the paywall

A little mediation on modern life and media.

morning calmness 
the rain gently falling
life's graceful moments

Summer heat has been running strong this week. Today was a respite. 20 degrees cooler than yesterday with a gentle rain. A nice bit of relief.

I took this photo just outside of my office this morning. It seemed perfect. I enjoyed the moment, at least.

I hope your day went well. I know life’s pretty miserable for this of you on the East Coast. May the smoke clear quickly for you all.

through fading sunlight
dusk moves through cherry blossoms
now petals falling

the grace of the sun 
as it descends through the leaves 
greeted by flowers
