winter – Page 2 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Night Falls

night falls 
dreams rise up
behold silence

cold morning air
sunlight growing to the east 
mountains at dawn

on the edge of dusk 
sun approaching the mountains 
a day free of rain

my finger’s coldness
walking in the gentle rain
winter progresses

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

walking in the rain
memories of icy winds
glories of wool coats

sun upon the clouds 
skies clearing after the rain
brief moments of joy

rain upon my skin
underneath the cloud's motion 
red Chinese lantern

the cool winter's rain
gently descends upon me
these branches laden

starlight fading
frost upon the grass 
dawn progresses
