Poetry – Page 28 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Seattle’s Skies

Misty clouds drifting
Stretched by fir and cedar boughs
Grasping longingly

And so, now Friday
Relief for so many souls
However briefly

Darkness expanding
Growing from hidden places
Sunlight fades anew

Staring from within
Push past fearful reactions
Outwards our focus

Clouds delight me so
Tranquility flowing forth
Dew drops glistening

Sunlight upon skin
Driving me to the outdoors
Promise of motion

Grey clouds against me
Calming my mind and soul
Strange tranquility

Tunnel in now
Tune out mundane distraction
Be exceptional

Latent potential
Bubbling deep underneath
Striving to release

A day starts tranquil
Into the wind, this now goes
Sunlight and blossoms
