rain – Page 7 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Gems upon the leaves

as I look closely 
during this pause in the rain
gemstones on the leaves

cold autumnal rain
moments of tranquility
as I sip my tea

after the rainfall
sun remains above the clouds 
autumn's progression

raindrops on roses
jewels glisten upon petals
after autumn rains

within the stillness
rain flowing across the roof
bringing me to dreams

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

through the Autumn rain
jewels beading upon these leaves
I'm exhaling fog

within falling rain
I stop my walk to gaze at
this resilient rose

a pause in the rain
walking while there's still sunlight 
greeted by a rose

walking in the rain
hints of red catching my eye
songs within my mind
