spring – Page 23 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Tonight: A Haiku

Sitting in the dark

Reflecting upon this day

Springtime and pollen

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

Springtime manifests
Facing down Seattle’s rain
Soon the blossoms fade

A moth fluttering
Upon the grass stalks
The rising sunlight

Evening has arrived
Listening to classic jazz
Spring rides the starlight

Compassion and grace
Linked together as they loop
Spring’s birds appearing

Lightness
Upon the
Summer breeze
Now an echo
Of a forgotten
Dream

A girl at the beach
Carrying a water bucket
Flicking water from
Her fingers
A baptism

Evening has arrived
Sunlight forcing itself down
Trees in their glory

This morning burns bright

Sheltered from it at my desk

A breeze blows gently
