The Grace Of Sunlight

The grace of sunlight

Pushing through the autumn chill

Raising my spirits


These rare moments of sunlight piercing through Seattle’s autumnal gloom, granting me strength for those long, dark days coming.

Thinking about evenings, flowers, and just being done

The day’s heat fading
Sun obscured by these fir trees
Tasks finally done

This evening is done. Didn’t get everything done I wanted to, but I never do. Such is the way of things for me I guess.

A Good Morning Haiku For You 

Sunlight’s debuting
Early morning darkness fades
Sounds of spring arise 


Watching the dawn inch forward inspired this haiku. I anthropomorphise the sun, imagining pride and delight as humanity stirs underneath the reborn warmth. Perhaps there’s even love for us as we reawaken our striving. 

So, here’s to a new day, it’s blessed possibilities, and all the potential you bring. 

This Sunlit Sunday 

​Walking upon the shore

Sunlight landing upon my face 

My skin warm, nicely so

Friend talk, warmed hearts 

And children yet again taller 

Than a moment ago 

Evoking parental wonder, and triggering

Eternal frustration for children 

This Sunday Afternoon

The sky bright
Through many clouds
Moving quickly
Above the trees
Sunlight caressed
By the wind

Sunlight Ascending 

As sunlight climbs through the trees
Silently caressing my home
Shadows upon my window’s shades
Transform like living Rorschachs
Into distinct leaves, memories
Of the moment that’s fading
