rain – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Murky Day

in this darkened sky
dominated by the murk
and the rushing clouds

gentle rainfall
taps upon my windows
and rooftop

the grace of springtime 
moving against the cold air 
gentle morning rain

in this gentle rain
hints of spring are erupting 
this cold winter's day

underneath the clouds
cool rain gently descending 
slowly the light fades

drifting through the mists
while the rain remains gentle
winter progresses

walking through the trees 
sunlight hidden by the mists
memories of rain

dreaming of moonlight  
rain's gentle rooftop tapping 
quiet before dawn

the grace of sunlight 
flowing through the evergreens
memories of rain

with the rain falling
gently from darkening skies
jewels within my mind
