Words - haiku

the page waits

the ink in the pen waits

to meet and make love

I, the matchmaker
the celebrant, the midwife
or just a witness
 
thus, words are born
and then set free like winged seeds
on a carefree wind

will they fall into
hearts made pure with silence

and bloom into joy?

Come unto joy - haiku

come unto me

in this vale of birdsong

let us lose ourselves

let us lose ourselves

the body is but a shell

the ego a lie

the ego a lie

the mind has been making up

let us let go

let us let go

of the mind, put it down

succumb to stillness

succumb to stillness

in this vale of nothingness

come unto joy

~~~

Birds rise from trees - haiku

birds rise from trees

in a symphony of song

winged arias

birds rise from trees

a trembling twig waves farewell

till dusk we part

birds rise from trees

carrying bits of tree spirit

rooted and flying

Forget-me-nots - haiku

forget-me-not, please

said Day to Night, in passing

the moon rose, rotund

solitary owl

calls out to a day unseen

forget-me-not, light

between the pages

turning into days and nights

pressed forget-me-nots

waves write parting notes
on the gently yielding sand
forget-me-not, shore
