A Summer’s Day Haiku

On this summer’s day
Suns warmth moving gracefully
I remember spring

Upon this mountain

The clouds are protecting us

From brutal sunlight

On this summer’s day
Sunlight flowing down to me
And gluttonous bees

As I’m facing west

Sunlight pushes out the grey

Feeling summer’s power

Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes

Awoke by sirens

Deep in the pre-dawn darkness

I say a prayer

Honey bees feasting
Sunlight flowing from the sky
Such summer delights

such a brilliant day
those I love accomplishing
sunlight reaches me

Today I watched dear friends test for their blackbelts, and followed that up with graduation parties. The beauty of growth delights me deeply.

Even though it’s rained

Summer’s breath still dominates

And sunlight has returned
