flowers – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

A mountain flower haiku

in this sunlit field 
petals gracefully reaching 
towards the birdsong

summer's moving
across the sunlit sky
blessings of flowers

gigantic lilies 
at the edge of the sidewalk 
bathing in sunlight

walking near the shore
with sunlight guiding my steps
these moments of grace

roses in the rain 
lives lived underneath grey skies 
between sunny days

graced by sunlight
beauty reaching skywards
as petals drift downwards

through the sunlight 
colors burst forth 
ever so briefly

summertime's motion
as petals grow and then fade 
the grace of sunlight

moments of summer 
petals briefly in the sun 
then fading earthwards

petal's graceful arc
as the sunlight passes through
forgotten raindrops
