this rain's gentleness
flowing over the blossoms
before the sun's grace
Facing Forward

this rain's gentleness
flowing over the blossoms
before the sun's grace
within this silence
listening to the rainfall
peace before the dawn
memories of dusk
treetops hidden by the night
silent memories
the rose does not
compare its beauty
to the daffodil
just a few dark clouds
a rain squall abruptly forms
soon the sun returns
darkness descending
covering faded blossoms
so ephemeral

wonders of springtime
flowers within the sunlight
birdsong fills the air

with hints of purple
flowers changing through the spring
new wonders each day
