A Winter’s Day

underneath the snow 
so much of life is asleep 
dreaming about spring

this break in the rain 
raindrops bead upon petals 
winter arrives soon

cold autumnal rain 
sunlight returned joyfully 
memories at night

I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.

rainfall in the night 
singing across my rooftop 
the song of winter

This night of wind and rain, gently announcing winter’s approach. Laying in bed listening, remembering, so many omemories of rain in the darkness.

Wind 
Pushing the rain 
Stripping trees 
Yet a few 
Tenacious leaves
Remain

with winter nearing 
trees are now barren of leaves 
under the cold rain

ah, within this rain
gently drifting down my roof 
this night's lullaby

I shot this photo yyesterday while on a walk, using my Samsung S9. Quite a versatile camera on my phone.

lying awake 
morning darkness 
and memories

cold autumnal rain
moments of tranquility
as I sip my tea

trees gently moving
and sun high above the clouds
cold day without rain
