Sunlight and the Stars

Carl Setzer

The sunburned stars Destroyed by the daylight Longing for night’s reprieve

Finding Home

Carl Setzer

Release expectation
Follow the sun in daylight
And stars at night
Listen for home’s sensation
When your heart is right

My childhood spent drifting, wandering the world. Eventually, home became this deep expectation, originally unwelcome. The beauty of the world intrigued me so. Now, living near my parents, and where grandparents spent their whole lives, there’s a rich connection. one whose beauty caught me off guard.

Of Stars And God

Carl Setzer

We are made in God’s image
Glorious bits of star stuff
Pieces of the cosmos

The big lives of small children

An evening with friends 

Carl Setzer

Spent the evening with friends enjoying Mountlake Terrace’s Tour de Terrace parade. A lovely evening with friends I’ve know for a while and some I just met tonight. What a wonderful way to spend time.

Lion Hearted

Carl Setzer

A fierceness within

Combining with dignity
