Roses in the Rain

roses in the rain 
lives lived underneath grey skies 
between sunny days

Early morning 
Well before dawn 
Listening to the rain

through spring rains 
flowers forced to wait 
for summer's delight

gentle rainfall
windchimes' song 
evening calmness

sun upon petals
once the gentle rains have stopped
the joys of this life

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

the morning rains fade 
clouds dancing upon the breeze
and, slowly, sunlight

raindrops on rooftops
a song across my morning
for morning tea

under the spring sun 
with the rain stopping briefly 
my sweater warms me

bee within petals 
amidst the fresh rains droplets 
as the sunlight fades
