Tonight I held you
And gazed deep into your eyes—
An evening well-spent

6/11/2021 – gazing at the horizon
For what do we so often pine
When we gaze at th’horizon line?
6/10/2021 – twenty-first
O, hie ye quick to safer shores
Away from those with evil mores
Those who would snap up all the earth
Then deign complain o’er lack of mirth
6/9/2021 – the movers
Hurried wanderers bereft of coin
With naught but tales and stories for to tell
They are the movers of thought
6/8/2021 – a haiku
Sitting by a fire
Listening to waves roll in
Holding your hand tight
6/7/2021
A distant world comes to mind
Teeming with life and love
And as it gains form
The one around dissipates
Along with all its cruelty
For a time
Shadows abate
Though oft I do despair
For want of freer air
I cannot but be awed at my good luck
For when I could not see
I set my heart to thee
And no longer could chaos run amok
When I did walk alone
My heart hard as a stone
Ne’er could I have imagined such a fate
As to be bound to you
A bond so right and true
That all the shadows in my mind abate
6/4/2021 – a haiku
Winds swirl wildly now
While the rest of the world sleeps
The earth is writhing
6/3/2021 – a haiku
Though my breath be high
May I find peace in the wind
And let go of fear
6/2/2021
What wisdom hath man,
He who destroys so?
