Wednesday morning Haiku

dawn moves through the clouds
hope ripples through the puddles
tea’s steam awakens

I love rainy Seattle mornings. Even in these insane times.

A Wednesday Morning Meditation

what does the sun risk

climbing up eastern mountains

quiet autumn morn

Is a rather cool autumn morning just north of Seattle. Grey skies filtering sunlight. For me, this is peaceful and calm.

How is you Wednesday shaping up?

Autumn Daisies

though expecting rain
the daisies are unimpressed
within the cool air

On my walk I noticed these fellows resisting autumn’s influence. Though lots of rain predicted for today, it remained remarkably dry. These daisies seem rather pleased.

The Day’s Rain

now walking at night

the day’s rain has faded

such grace in silence

Early Morning

the arriving dawn
early morning silence
the sound of home

A view from my neighborhood. Seattle’s murky skies: my vision of home. One of them, at least.

A Rainy Seattle Evening

rain taps upon my window

night drifts to the west

A windy, rainy night

wind dancing through firs
rain taps upon my window
night drifts to the west

Tis a rainy Seattle night, what we’re famous for.

Friday Morning Near Seattle

within dawn’s grey light
rise and meet our potential
calling geese move south

This morning greet with grey skies; very common on Seattle’s autumns. A weekend filled with rain awaits. Many rain drenched memories arise. Cafes, such sanctuaries of warmth.

Street lights serenading me
Foot steps upon dreams

Scent of Old Books

I spent many hours of my mid-twenties wandering Seattle’s bookstores and coffee shops. Fond, fond memories. Though a challenging time, mainly financial, I enjoyed that time. Traveling into Seattle became more and more challenging over the years since I returned to Lynnwood. It looks dramatically different, and I haven’t been down since the pandemic started. Puget Sound’s north end holds its charms, too. Just different ones. Evolutions, I guess.
