I close my eyes beneath the stars
And wonder at what there I see
When wonders greater shine above
On canvas far wider than I could be
10/26/2023 – a haiku
All the world’s aflame
In the changing of seasons
Green gone brightest red
10/25/2023 – new song
I wander often from the ground
‘pon which I find my feet
And in the shifting winds I find
Some new and wondrous song
10/24/2023 – hum
A humming
Scratches at my ears
A sparse harmony
Long forgotten
Without beginning or end
It lingers
On dissonant tones
Yet it promises
In its quiet moments
To bring music
To alter the world
10/23/2023 – a haiku
I must remember
As I dream of horizons:
I want for nothing
10/21/2023 – shimmer
As yellow go the leaves
And cool goes every breeze
And grey conquers the skies
I wish for summer rains
And dry heat from the south
And sun that takes the air
And makes it shimmer
10/20/2023 – moves me
My heart moves me
To listen to silent winds
To read hidden words
To learn untaught lessons
10/19/2023 – a haiku
If I free my heart
From the shackles of my mind
Will I breathe at last?
10/18/2023 – silent forest
When oft I walk beneath the boughs
Of those elder than I
I hope to hear the songs they sing
All while growing so high
10/17/2023 – specters of me
I walk amidst shades
Specters of me
What I was
And the thousand ways
I could have been
