haiku – Page 27 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Summer Lilies

gigantic lilies 
at the edge of the sidewalk 
bathing in sunlight

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

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

early morning rain
this gentle song sung to me
under the street light

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

underneath the trees
listening to the birdsong
as the sun descends
