Manzanita Sunset

as the sun descends 
day drifting to memory 
the birds still singing

slowly opening
sunlight hidden by the clouds
such gentle motion

between the rain squalls 
sunlight mellowed by the clouds 
petals unfurling

crows calling 
through the morning mists 
petals gently fall

modern dilemma 
I see all my hopes and dreams 
behind the paywall

A little mediation on modern life and media.

the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals 
in the early morn

entering springtime
moments of new life growing
the motion of time

seeing time passing 
upon the broken pavement
grace of spring's sunlight

dandelion days
gentle rain and warm air 
announce their return

darkness pre-dawn
wispy tendrils of my dreams 
amidst memories
