Floating in freedom - haiku


water birds peck at
broken floating shards of sky
rippling freedom

Flutterby song


flutterby wings
folded in prayer or song
ode to a leaf


~~~

flutterby wings
open in benediction
ode to a flower

December the 5th


had you your body
I would have called to say
“Happy Birthday”
your ‘Thank you”
would have come
with the deepest of love.

But only bodies are born
and then die

you live on

a spirit gentle
a presence warm and tender
a smile guileless

in some place
where dates don’t matter
or even words
and when thoughts fall away
your presence comes as
a soft fragrance
a gentle footfall
a touch soothing

On this day
what can I do
but be present to your presence
be mindful
of your unconditional love
my heart brimming
with utmost gratitude
