Under The Sunlight

under the sunlight 
moving gently with the clouds 
connecting with the birds

another dawn breaks

more moments of spring’s glory

drift upon the breeze

winter's grasp lessens
flowers reaching towards springtime
bird's renewed vigor

a day of sunlight
new life gracefully drooping
hints of spring's return

this break in the rain 
raindrops bead upon petals 
winter arrives soon

limbs mostly bare 
a few tenacious leaves cling
dawn's light creeps westward

‪sitting patiently ‬
‪on tendrils of autumn mist ‬
‪another fly’s doom ‬

silk architecture
abandoned upon my porch
a cold autumn wind

the grace of sunlight
within the cool autumn air
glimmers of beauty

through the autumn storms
the rose's tenacity
shines through today's sun

these tenacious leaves
their grip strong through wind and rain
while the air grows cold
