night – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Tonight’s Haiku: January 29, 2026

as gentle mists fall
streetlights flicker through the dreams 
the song of the night

walking through these streets
under flickering streetlights
watching shadows play

sleep’s evasive
the early morning darkness
hiding raindrops

Yeah, I should be asleep,

I’d prefer to be asleep

Yet that is not

My reality.

streetlight’s reflection
ripples across the puddles
windchime’s gently tones

within the darkness 
listening to the rainfall 
the night's progression

in the bitter cold
the night moving with such grace 
soon dawn approaches

sunlight's gentle way
moving slowly over snow 
clouds cover the sky

Another day with snow. This snow, though, has settled in. Nothing new during the day.

I created this in Canva, which is a lot of fun.

grace consumes the night
within this silent darkness
healing commences

as the sunlight fades
with the night's graceful blessings 
the birds go silent
