Lie here, beside me in the dark
As man’s brash sounds exhale
Listen with me to earthly songs
The music hiding there beyond it all
6/8/2023 – a haiku
Twice in one week I owe you two poems!
There is a waking
In my soul’s deepest places
I yearn for the stars
6/7/2023 – you are
You are
A star against the naught of space
An onyx jewel beside the grey
Rich earth beneath the greenest trees
The sun rising to make the day
You are
6/6/2023 – thread and loom
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
