The Scent Of Rain

​As the sunlight fades
Comforting darkness flows in
With the scent of rain

It’s set to rain overnight and into tomorrow. Many of the Seattleites I know are ready for a bit of cool rain. I know, we’re a weird lot. When everything is green it feels the most like home. 


A rainy Seattle night

summer’s rain
beautiful scent of earth
renewed

Outside I hear a rumble, then the familiar tapping sound of rainfall. I love the scent of rain falling after a hot day.

Abrupt Awareness

Frog song
Bold moonlight
Sudden awareness

Thinking of those moments where one is working dillgently, fully absorbed, then abruptly aware of time’s passage. The last moment outside our mind sunlight dominated. Then, darkness, moonlight, and the frogs chanting their mantras.

Nightly Haiku, August 11

Tonight’s Haiku

Air in motion
Night sings ancient songs
Trees sway in the dark

Experimenting with Adobe Spark. Really enjoying the app.

A Haiku In The Night

​The night’s grace appears

Kindness in the dark’s motion

Streetlights; a beacon


There’s a grace to the night, to the calmness brought, to hidden delights, joys unbounded. To rest delivered, and the salvation of our dreams. 

A Haiku On A Cloud Filled Night

The moon peeks through evening clouds

Tranquility
Moonlit clouds
Gracefulness

The moon peeks through the clouds this cool Seattle evening. Misty rains paused long enough for me to complete a walk. Thus my mood’s betterment achieved.

Wishing you all thoughts of peace during these troubled times.

This Evening’s Haiku

gravity’s demand
even the sun can’t resist
calmness comes with night
