Sun streaming
the green smell fills the air--
cold burns my nose.
A laughing moment today; set here in beauty.

Through leaflet halls, soft
the woodland path lies unclad--
Life waits, looking on.
A sketch, outlining my belief that nature should be left in large, unspoiled; Nature, souls sweet solace-through you, I find peace.

Chrysanthemum
bloom in straight lines, so
stone square.
An old memory, flowers blooming around the edges of my grandfathers tennis court.

In the night, wind, rattle
I wake in the changing dark--
Pat! The sound of rain.
As is said, a fond memory, collective, of all the times I have woken in the  night to the sound of wind and rain, and fallen back to sleep, content.

Pause, stride break
lean tree bends so slow;
birds leap to flight.
a moment of beauty seen while walking swiftly to my next appointment. I  know that it does not adhere to the rule of 5 7 5, but, as you may learn, this matters not, so much as the simple rule; to be able to say all in a single breath.

On, my love..let the
waves come, and take you, on...the
tears well; fall, silent.
Inspired so from yet another film of emotion, and final heartbreak. I understand that I must not allow grief to rule me; must not allow myself to become lost in the tragedies of life, if I would ever again come to joy in the simple moments of life's pleasure...would ever perhaps come to love, to peace...still, I must grieve, at least now. Forgive my ramblings...I am heart-sore, and tired, spent. I hope you will not judge these words too harshly; they are made in emotion, but perhaps not refined, as I should normally make them, before I let them go.

Long
the falling
rain;
let it fall
and
wash away
my sorrow,
that I
may have
peace,
and not
weariness
in the
times of
my grief:
fall,
rain of my
soul.
A poem written in the weariness of my spirit,
and for a time come recently, when after watching a film of unbearable sadness, pathos, I wept, silently. And through my tears my sorrow eased, and I was able at last to find peace, and acceptance.
