I’m not asleep

Night fell long ago
Yet sleep is avoiding me
I hear the highway

Oh sleep, I’ve requested your presence some time ago. Sigh…

Oh well, at least I can sleep in tomorrow.

Birds Singing at Dawn

The day’s beginning
With amazing potential
Bird’s singing at dawn

Early morning with birds singing boldly. I’m not quite ready to leave the comfort of bed and blankets. The sky slowly lightens, second by second. 

Birds Awakened 

This morning’s still dark
Abrupt noise into silence
Birds have awakened

This morning’s first birdsong came while I was dosing. Jarring enough to yank my attention. Does the first bird to speak get the early worm? Ot, perhaps, he gets the girl? 

Tonight’s Haiku: Buds Become Blossoms

A new testament
The hand of God drifting through
Buds become blossoms

Fathers, Daughters, and Snapshots of Beauty

A friend and daughter
The gentle kiss upon her head
Witnessing sweetness
