flower – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

On my window sill

on my window sill
this flower's joyful visage 
enjoying the sunlight

feeding on sunlight 
while reaching through the green leaves 
nourished by the earth

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

yet another walk
underneath the autumn clouds
soon birds quiet

upon these petals
this bee feasts upon nectar 
then, on to the next

within the sunlight
moving in the summer breeze 
the scent of salt air

morning glory 
rising to meet the dawn
within my garden

after the rain 
a single blossom 
sunlight returns

amidst the sunlight
bold colors singing their song
as I walk forwards

through the autumn storms
the rose's tenacity
shines through today's sun
