rain

Rain Clouds to the West

rain clouds to the west
quietly pass overhead
hiding the sunlight

in the morning rain
gently upon the petals 
amidst the birdsong

rainy night haiku

rainfall in the dark 
autumnal scents descending 
windchime's gentle tone

as the water beads
flowing across the petals
rains drift westward

after the rainfall
droplets gather on petals
sunlight through the clouds

the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals 
in the early morn

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
