A Haiku By The Shore

walking near the shore
the scent of salt air delights
flowers worship sun

standing in sunlight
as I’m moving through summer
the breeze bearing life

night air: a respite

vanquishing the summer’s heat

longing for raindrops

summer’s excesses

Helios’ angry glare

I await night’s grace

glorious sunlight
captured in the greenery
delights of summer

A good day with friends, time in the sunlight, absorbing the life-giving rays. Refreshing my soul during the trials of this pandemic. Life is good.

grey day’s ending
sunlight moves across petals
hummingbirds fighting

this daisy riot
petals reaching for the sky
buzzing content bees

I wrote this haiku a few months ago, but some glitch kept it from posting. Glad I found it, and now to share it with you.

night is complete

dawn’s grace arrives

resisting waking

through the summer’s sun

life drips down upon the earth

bees sing merrily
