this rain's gentleness
flowing over the blossoms
before the sun's grace
I dig computers

this rain's gentleness
flowing over the blossoms
before the sun's grace
pre-dawn darkness
my heart is louder
than my mind
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

wonders of springtime
flowers within the sunlight
birdsong fills the air

with hints of purple
flowers changing through the spring
new wonders each day
awakened by self-doubt
criticizing all I've done
so I face within
resisting these words
embracing all that I am
keep moving forward
