A fall storm quickens
With shiver-inducing rains
Foretelling winter
10/6/2022 – a thought on the windowpane
Heaven is not a place
But that moment
Surrounded by laughter
About a crackling fire
With winter’s chill but a thought on the windowpane
10/5/2022 – be a bore
A frightful dream awoke me late
Last night ‘neath starless skies
I dreamt my pride I could not sate
Till I was Earth’s most wise
This fruitless task had driv’n me mad
Till wisdom distant laid
Such arrogance unfettered had
My modest mind unmade
And then I woke, in fear and sweat,
One of the crowd once more
Unsure of much with one thought set:
Let me but be a bore
10/4/2022 – a haiku
With brightest aspect
Does the sun, late in the year,
Penetrate a cloud
10/3/2022 – frost form
Let the frost form
Out past my mind’s realm
10/1/2022 – a haiku
Jet-black rain-wet coals
Telling of a pain since passed
By minutes, or months
9/30/2022 – other us
In secret corners
Have we hidden
Lost in visions
Of other worlds
Other times
Other us
9/29/2022 – free of earthly bond
Weeds tumble ‘cross the winding road
Beneath this starry sky
Where sweating men have their pains towed
Sweating men such as I
For at road’s end a promise lies
Of riches great beyond
For those men loyal, true, and wise
And free of earthly bond
9/28/2022 – a haiku
Leaves overhead play
A dry and windy rhythm
As autumn arrives
9/27/2022 – to the beasts of earth and sky
With a little breath
You slow mine
With the peace in your eyes
You bring mine to close
With the softness of your heart
You let mine rest
As the winter is to the beasts of earth and sky
So are you
To all of me
