haiku – Word Shaper

An evening haiku

the birds now silent
and darkness flows through the trees
tranquility’s charm

sun drifts through clouds 
rain gently makes it's way down 
as night slowly falls

all eyes on their phones
an osprey catches a fish
only I notice

two people clapping
quirky, stuttering rythmn
a small cloud of gnats

awaiting sunlight 
car engines join their choir 
the motion of life

waiting for dawn
eastern hills remain dark 
rattling raindrops

a day of rainfall 
with mists moving through the firs
speaking to my soul

through the coldest rain
while the bitter wind bites hard
with the sun fading

walking through these streets
under flickering streetlights
watching shadows play

as the daylight fades
the mountains burst with color
and birds seek their rest
