walking tonight
no streetlights guide our footsteps
dark country road
yet soft shimmering moonlight
surrounds us like fairy dust

Haiku
each flower’s memory
blossoms in my heart
thinking of you
thinking of you,
looking through your new eyes
life begins once again
magical child’s laugh
watching snowflakes fly
life continues to surprise
Haiku
wild flowers bloom
explosion of bright colors
wind dances alone
Haiku
dance and sing today
glorious returns the sun
rejoicing sing
waves crash on the beach
as the new season begins
take my hand and walk
light is my step
upon the windy beaches
smiling into the snow
one more year passes
and yet my heart still feels young
give me my red cape
Haiku
meditating morn
each rock is a teacher
as life continues
walking along my path
contemplating rain and stones
clouds shrouding soul
gentle song at dawn
reflecting upon the way
the pond is moonless
Haiku
world’s lost muezzin
guards spiritual light
listen for the call
the call soon comes
when least expected by men
to re-unite in love
Haiku
mankind meditates
outlining its destiny
contemplating stars
Haiku
keepers of the forest
protectors of Mother’s children
sunlit souls
Haibun
Awake in a Dream
Awakening from a dream, when it is still so close to you, is like walking in a new world. The lovely sensations that were born of the night, follow your footsteps throughout the day, giving it a quality of magic. Colors seem brighter, the wind is a caress, the birds sing with new vigor. To be awake in a dream and dream when you’re awake. Such a marvelous state of being!
world of dreams and song
accompany this sweet day
gentle winter rain
Written for Carpe Diem #353, Awake in a Dream with heartfelt thanks!
Haiku
life moves with the wind
wild and free flying the breeze
dawn smiles blushingly
When nothing is certain anything is possible
life happens . . .
