As the crops grow tall
And the days grow sweltering
I long for the sea

8/2/2023 – maelstrom
A maelstrom rages
Deep in my heart
Where swirling currents crash
And roar
8/1/2023 – horizon
I yearn for what’s beyond yon line
The one stretching along my sight
The one that reaches north to south
The one that promises me tales untold
7/31/2023 – a haiku
Tell me of the sea
Where all is unchained and free
And wonders abound
7/29/2023 – beyond the veil
Heavy comes the rain
Hot blows the wind
Stifling is the air
Yet beyond the veil
A brighter sun
A cooler breeze
A renewed earth
7/28/2023 – every sense
Without you here within my sight
I fall upon a shadowed road
As if the whole world fell to night
And took back every sense it had bestowed
7/27/2023 – a haiku
The wind grows cooler
While the shadowed sky lightens
And rain trickles on
7/26/2023 – so little
so little am I ‘mongst the stars
7/25/2023 – candles to the sun
Your smile
A balm
Unlike any
No salve nor poultice
Of earthly mean
Could seem to teem with such
Life
As candles to the sun
Are they
7/24/2023 – a haiku
Bright is midday sun
Yet still beneath its hot rays
We try not to see
