Rainfall at Night

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.

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

after the rainfall
sun remains above the clouds 
autumn's progression

raindrops on roses
jewels glisten upon petals
after autumn rains

visions of autumn
daylight moves through clouds and rain
soon, soon winter comes

a feast for the birds
during this time of scarcity 
few leaves remaining

the grace of sunlight
within the cool autumn air
glimmers of beauty

through the autumn storms
the rose's tenacity
shines through today's sun

these tenacious leaves
their grip strong through wind and rain
while the air grows cold

walking in the rain
hints of red catching my eye
songs within my mind
