Poetry – Page 11 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Graceful Moon

as I look skywards 
the moon with sparkling stars 
such graceful motion

feeding on sunlight 
while reaching through the green leaves 
nourished by the earth

walking through my yard 
flowers suddenly appear 
after the rain squall

passing by the shore
water's motion over sand 
seagulls shout "hello"

dandelion days
gentle rain and warm air 
announce their return

across the water 
the ferry's gentle motion 
before these mountains

boldly nearing spring 
walking amidst the sunlight 
gazing to the west

a sunlit day 
bubbles drifting 
children's delight

memories of snow
remaining in my mind 
signs of spring emerge

under sunlight's grace 
I've left my coat in the car
though it's still winter
