haiku – Page 19 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Another Virus

another virus 
inflicting it's annoyance 
arrives unbidden

drifting through the mists
while the rain remains gentle
winter progresses

walking through the trees 
sunlight hidden by the mists
memories of rain

this cold winter air
signs of spring emerge slowly
this fragility

winter's motion 
sunlight crosses the sky
fading into dreams

this winter sunlight
continuation of life 
flows upon my face

dreaming of moonlight  
rain's gentle rooftop tapping 
quiet before dawn

night falls 
dreams rise up
behold silence

the desert wind
drifting over the moonlight
coyote's song

the grace of sunlight 
flowing through the evergreens
memories of rain
