A fast-rising wind
Blows quick across the landscape
And all comes alive

5/24/2023 – that silence
I love no silence more
Than silence with you
5/23/2023 – break the wheel
Above the crashing human sounds
Beyond the grey of block and steel
A different, brighter truth abounds
There where we go if we can break the wheel
5/22/2023 – a haiku
I find it vexing:
Even over a cursed day
Bright is the sunrise
5/20/2023 – that I would hear
Sit by me in the dappled sunshine
Beneath the bright green leaves
Whisper in my ear of love and lust and simple things
That I would hear
5/19/2023 – with naught unwritten
In fits and starts of wisdom oft
The pen on paper finds its way
Till when you lift the pen aloft
With naught unwritten that you wished to say
5/18/2023 – a haiku
Bring the horizon
Pull it to you if you must
And look beyond it
5/17/2023 – waits
Look with me over the edge
Past the tall naked trees
Past the well-kempt lawns
Past the gardens of flowers
And foods
Look with me over the edge
Past the garish floodlamps
Past the overwrought buildings
Past the roads to everywhere
And nowhere
Look with me over the edge
Where something yet unheard
Where something yet unseen
Where something yet unknown
And wondrous
Waits
5/16/2023 – springtime blossoms
The springtime blossoms comfort me
Speak to me
Of life
Sing to me
Of brighter times
5/15/2023 – a haiku
It is with sadness
That I gaze beyond my sight
Longing for newness
