Blur

photo of rain on a window pane at night, with the lights on the street in blur

All the world’s a blur:
raindrops on my window pane—
mirroring my eyes.

Missing

Photo of raindrops on a window of a ferry, with a view of dark clouds and the ocean.

As tears, rain drops fall,
ominous clouds gather round—
spring goes a hiding.

Fresh

close up photo of an orange rose and rain droplets on its leaf.

A tear drop or two,
refreshes the mind and soul;
garden after rain.

Evolution

A character arc:
unusually wet spring—
double-rainbowed sky.

Cycle of life

large trees by the foot path, the one in front has light green leaves and the others with darker green leaves

As lights are the trees,
brighter before they burn out,
end brings beginning.
