autumn – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Moving through the day

moving through the day
sunlight flows upon my life 
embracing its grace

summer visages 
with autumn approaching 
soon the seasons change

descending dusk
night's darkness hiding beauty 
the birds go silent

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.

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

as I look closely 
during this pause in the rain
gemstones on the leaves

cold autumnal rain
moments of tranquility
as I sip my tea

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

a cup of tea
a quiet afternoon
autumnal darkness
