spring rain

young leaves give shelter

tender buds

sparrows wait in pine trees
until blue sky returns

Carpe Diem Special #220 Orion, a haibun by Dolores Fegan

~
When you live in cloudy Western Pennsylvania you think you’ve seen a sky full of stars, but you haven’t. It was on a trip to the high desert of Arizona that I saw the true wonder of a clear night with no pollution from shopping malls and street lights. A magnificent show that covered the sky from edge to edge.

blanket of clouds
removed from the night sky
thousand points of light
