under heavens gate
stars lay on the floor of dawn
the color of rain
on fridays we gather
passionate as summer flowers
to lean into the sweetness
of small words.

Summer rains freshen the surroundings and lift spirits up!

This is beautiful Rebecca. I never thought of rain as having color, but now I see it takes on the color of everything it touches. How creative of you to show that! It's inspiring. Imagine, life-giving water has color. Beautifully done!

I love leaning into the sweetness of small words with everyone who comes here on Friday morning!

Exquisite photos and beautiful words here to greet me. A small thunderstorm rolled through yesterday afternoon while I was sitting pn the patio. Just hard enough to make me go inside so I wouldn't get soaked. The Thunderclap was more of a demanding statement than a loud bolt, warning me that the water was coming.
It was over quickly, and the Grandfather sun came out and immersed everything in his light. The colors were indeed vibrant through the rain and the sun. Wonderful.
Peace

This is an exceptional haiku Rebecca! Perhaps you'll consider sharing your gorgeous photos with I Heart Macro this week... the ones above would be perfect (I use the term macro loosely).... I imagine your participation would bring more viewers to your beautiful blog. Have a wonder-filled week my friend.

Dear Rebecca, You gave us a glimpse of Paradise in the delicate words of your haiku today!!Beautiful rains and the colors that you get to see with it. Monsoon rains still in progress here but the air breathes fresh and the crystal droplets creating pretty looking sparkles. Hoping to catch the rainbow someday soon.

Rain sparkles like stars here this morning as well. Must be raining all over the world.
