Seattle – Page 3 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Signs of Spring

this cold winter air
signs of spring emerge slowly
this fragility

dreaming of moonlight  
rain's gentle rooftop tapping 
quiet before dawn

cold morning air
sunlight growing to the east 
mountains at dawn

the grace of sunlight 
flowing through the evergreens
memories of rain

with the rain falling
gently from darkening skies
jewels within my mind

walking in the rain
memories of icy winds
glories of wool coats

as the grey clouds move
an autumn storm approaches 
brutally cruel air

Created this graphic/haiku as I watch the latest storm approach the Seattle area.

rainy, misty morn
dawn's light muted by the clouds
time to brew some tea

within the evening
leaves abruptly yellowing 
then drifting earthwards

as the sun descends
the firey glow through the trees
warming my soul's depths
