Give me a thread and loom, and I’ll
Weave tales of us in tapestries
And you can sing beside me while
We tell our stories to the breeze

6/5/2023 – a haiku
I owe you two today.
Hold me in the dark
With the shadows closing in
Let me see your light
6/4/2023 – wide water
Bright blues and greens under the glow
Of sun in high midafternoon
Into the cool I dip my toe
And listen to the clear call of the loon
6/2/2023 – between
Walk with me
Between the stars
6/1/2023 – a haiku
Fire burns within me
Forming a song I don’t know
But will come to know
5/31/2023 – words fall
Words fall
Like rain
Down a page
Down a street
Some crumple
Some fall apart
Some take root and grow
Yet words fall
All the same
5/30/2023 – a tiny speck
In dappled sunlight, list’ning to the breeze
I sit in wonder at the vibrant life
The chitt’ring birds and tall, triumphant trees
That make a tiny speck of human strife
5/29/2023 – a haiku
On Mondays I wish
For something better to come
In the days ahead
5/27/2023 – for an age
Let’s come back as trees
Strong
Quiet
Regal
Roots intertwined
Branches entangled
Holding to one another
For an age
5/26/2023 – how often
How often do I think of you?
As often as the breezes blow
As often as the tree frogs sing
As often as the new sprouts grow
As often as the birds take wing
