Underneath the rain

Cherry blossoms in the rain

underneath the rain 
signs of spring bursting forwards
no one else walking

Day Free Of Rain


the day free of rain
glories of spring continue
sunlight through the clouds

Blessings on the Wind

Cherry Blossoms

as spring moves forward
sunlight dancing on blossoms
blessings on the wind

Blossoms in the Breeze

upon the spring breeze

blossoms gracefully dancing

within the sunlight

Blossoms Fading

fallen petals

springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed


I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.

Cherry Blossoms

ah, cherry blossoms!
all the beauty of springtime
encapsulated

I try to walk every day. During those walks, I seek out signs of the seasons, of change, of life’s patterns. Lately, I’ve searched for signs of spring. Crocuses, daffodils, lilies, and now cherry blossoms.

Through the Rainfall

through the rainfall
as it changes to snow
the birds now confused

Found this blossom during my walk the other day. More signs that spring is almost here. Yet today we had rain, wind, snow and hail. It was quite a day, weather – wise.

Graceful Sunlight: A Haiku

the motion of light
falls gracefully on petals
gentle summer breeze

Haiku: May 29, 2020

blossoms falling

bees move to the next bloom

my feet on concrete

This evening’s haiku, May 28, 2020

blossom petals fall

with their vibrant, violet hues

hinting at summer

Against all odds, I hold onto hope. Hard in this mad , rage-filled world.
