autumn – Page 3 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

A Cold Night Haiku

within the cold air
and sunlight gracing  my skin
oh, the memories!

gazing at the dusk
light dances upon the clouds 
awaiting night's grace

as dusk approaches
changing leaves upon the breeze
sunlight turns to rain

underneath the mists
colors spring forth from the cold
autumn keeps moving

autumn's new vigor
as Seattle's rains return
bring much relief

as the petals fall
upon the reddening leaves
life returns earthwards

through the autumn smoke 
memories of cool fall air 
and longing for rain

sunlight drifting
downwards upon my skin
yet the leaves redden

the joys of sunlight
graceful clouds within blueness 
seagulls cry calming

an afternoon pause
in sunlight along the shore
the joy of flowers
