After the Rain

after the rain 
a single blossom 
sunlight returns

dawn drifts through the trees
gently rousing the songbirds
early morning dew

as the blossoms fall
gently caressed by the rain
spring gradually fades

gentle spots of white 
upon the yellow petals
moving in the breeze

sitting with my tea 
where I am quite dry and warm 
amidst the rainfall

moving towards summer
sunlight through the bluest sky
moving through the trees

walking through the woods 
sunlight's joy reaching downwards 
recharging my soul

garden's delights
feasting upon sunlight 
and spring rains

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
