Seattle – Page 6 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Spring Rains

through spring rains 
flowers forced to wait 
for summer's delight

as the blossoms fall
gently caressed by the rain
spring gradually fades

moments of sunlight 
bees spreading their joyful wings 
spring's life renewing

sitting with my tea 
where I am quite dry and warm 
amidst the rainfall

raindrops on rooftops
a song across my morning
for morning tea

under the sunlight 
moving gently with the clouds 
connecting with the birds

early morning 
between the raindrops 
I hear God's voice

morning rain 
delighting flowers
rich memories

Seattle, famous for its rain. For some, the accompanying gloom saddens. For me, though, I feel tranquility. These rain soaked firs are home.

the grace of sunlight
with the clouds moving southwards
this pause in the rain

sunlight on the sand 
warmth flowing upon my face 
as the rains approach
