Seattle – Page 3 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

the grace of sunlight 
flowing through the evergreens
memories of rain

Jewels of my Mind

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

sunlight through the firs 
koi moving in the pond 
tapping of raindrops

rainy, misty morn
dawn's light muted by the clouds
time to brew some tea

within the cold air
and sunlight gracing  my skin
oh, the memories!

autumnal progress
food provided for the birds
with the air cooling

underneath the trees
listening to the birdsong
as the sun descends

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

raindrops on rooftops
a song across my morning
for morning tea

morning rain 
delighting flowers
rich memories

Seattle, famous for its rain. For some, the accompanying gloom saddens. For me, though, I feel tranquility. These rain soaked firs are home.
