An Autumn Rose

under autumn rain
with cool air calming my soul
an autumn rose grows

caught in a rain squall
wet clothes press upon my skin
still I look closely

within the sunlight 
drifting through the mists and firs
life under the trees

flowers in autumn
within the flowing mists
such tenacity

reddening leaves
a gentle autumn breeze
the motion of life

Here are a few photos, views from my daily walks this week.

autumn rains singing
glistening jewels upon leaves
gracefully earthbound

This photo was taken a few days ago on one of my walks with my trusty Samsung S9. I love the effect of the raindrops!

an autumnal stroll 
fir boughs caressing the sky 
between the rain squalls

Wind Through The Trees

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song

upon the roadside
waiting for the bees to come
embracing sunlight

suburban wanders
as fresh cut grass’ scent dances
memories awake

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “fresh”. As it’s spring here in the suburbs of Seattle, and I’m listening to a mower’s drone, this flowed from my keyboard.
