Let your body rest in the cool
Eat not of the frozen air
Wake not for the winter birds
Stir not for the dormant seeds
Lie still till the sun returns
And the snow restores you
And whispers of green float on the wind

11/16/2023 – a haiku
When the sky goes grey
I say the day’s beautiful
And then it is so
11/15/2023 – wanting
Hunger takes me
Of a different kind
Than that sated by food
Thirst arrests me
Of a different kind
Than that quenched by drink
Pain wracks me
Of a different kind
Than that quieted by salves
11/14/2023 – full and glad
I wish for little more than that
Your heart be full and glad
11/13/2023 – a haiku
Wander together
That if you find some wisdom
It grows to be shared
11/10/2023 – all that’s bright and green
I hunger for another world
Where all that’s bright and green
Is cherished only for its sake
And not the human bounty it could mean
11/9/2023 – a haiku
The bright colors fade
And the sun retreats from view
As icy wind blows
11/8/2023 – I would/with you
I would
Walk
Run
Swim
Fly
Jump
Die
With you
11/7/2023 – what is become of the world
Humdrum and half-baked, life-bereft
A stopped song, canvas set to flame
11/6/2023 – a haiku
Readily I wake
Prepared for a wondrous day
That then disappoints
