Some long while has passed
Since last the whispering wind
Muttered in my ear
Telling secrets
Granting wisdom
And I often wonder
If in my silence
I am not listening
4/15/2022
Why does the crumbling earth cry out
If not for to be saved?
4/14/2022 – a haiku
The rains came again
And spilled on leafing lilies
That promise to bloom
4/13/2022
They say look not to words
But to deeds
Yet look what words can do
4/12/2022
It was in cold December that I wept
In longing for the sun’s distant return
Yet now it seems that through the grey I slept;
I wish in winter I could more than yearn
4/11/2022 – a haiku
I sought the sunrise
And found grey obscuring it
So I learned to fly
4/9/2022 – the sea’s awaiting me
I run across the soft green moss
Toward the crashing sea
For past the sands and rocky lands
The sea’s awaiting me
4/8/2022 – a haiku
The birds are chirping
At long last having returned
They sing, “awaken!”
4/7/2022
I see sunlight peek through
The grey
Puncture the drear
I set down my pen
And finish my water
And don my shoes
And open the door
Yet when I run toward that sunlight
It is gone
Having awaited me while I
Set down my pen
Finished my water
Donned my shoes
Opened the door
It left, saddened at my absence
4/6/2021
So quiet was I when the light
Of stars shone in my mind
Their brilliance reached past earthly sight
Allowing me to find
At last creation’s spark so rare
That which I daily seek
Yet find only in silent air
When my tongue has been meek
