I’m nearby
This place she lived
LIVED!
So very long ago
In this early morn
With wind moving
Trees
Her voice whispers
Love songs to this
Child

Haiku
Daily Prompt: Astral, A Haiku
Astral projection
Moves across the universe
Yet our rain still falls
Today’s Daily Prompt: Assay
For so great a mind
Those who understand “Assay”
Others are tested
Defining “Vermin”
Why do we loathe such
These creatures that adapt well
To our wastefulness
Squirrels, rats, myriad insects, and so many other creatures that have adapted well to living in the shadow of humanity. These we loathe, finding beauty in those struggling to find a place in the world we’re rapidly changing.
Between Light and Dark
Between light and dark
Where love and anguish loiter
With snow upon leaves
Finding My Place
My place
Is everywhere
And nowhere
Anywhere the sun
Shines or rain
Descends with
Grace and beauty
Tonight’s Haiku: Sitting Upon My Couch
Sun Stretched Upon The Cold Wind
The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.
The Rage Engine: A Haiku
Rage’s engine roars
A machine that churns out death
While rotting out souls
Seems this is the favorite piece of equipment to operate anymore.
Fear Has Plenty Of Company
There are many fears
They will never be lonely
I can leave them be
It’s so hard, sometimes, to disentangle from my fears. They are so deeply interwoven into my life. Yet I’ve rooted out many over the years.
May you be freed from fear’s inertia. From its attempts to rob you of joy and wonder.
And may your Sunday recharge and invigorate you.
