Tranquil grey skies now
Damp remnants of rain linger
Wet blossoms clinging

Flowers delicately fall
Water ripples freely
Outwards, embracing
The stars

Frustrations pounding
Cruely dissecting my faults
Mountain air saves me

Wrapped within three lines
Syllables five, seven, five,
Beauty in those primes
