The wind howls
And in the roar
Words
Spring forth
2/4/2022 – a haiku
Let me see your depths
Gaze into your eyes’ ocean
And find treasure there
2/3/2022
The wintry blanket covers all the ground
With softest, purest flakes of fallen snow
That dampens all so there is not a sound
Naught but the fiery brightness of sun’s glow
2/2/2022
Rise with the sun
And sleep not
Until you have danced among the stars
2/1/2022
I walked in winter’s cold
And looked up to the sky
And in the bitter chill
A voice was rising high:
“Cease, mortal, in your steps
And turn ye from the cold
Go warm yourself beside
The fire with those you love!”
And such was how my wife called me inside
1/31/2022 – a haiku
When does the sun rise
O’er a land shrouded in gloom
Lighting it with fire?
1/29/2022
Have I not walked
Trodden upon the unbroken ground
For such distances
As to seem
Endless?
Have I not heard
The sounds of every end of the earth
Such symphonies
As to seem
Boundless?
Would that I had not felt
The gnawing pain of a thousand lifetimes
Such agony
As to seem
Enough for one man
But perhaps
None can be
Without the others
1/28/2022 – a haiku
I sit in wonder
At the frequencies humming
That make such music
1/27/2022
With ev’ry passing year
We find more hairs of grey
And shorter grows each day
Or so I often hear
But oft comes wisdom, too
If we can seek it out
And learn to turn about
From that which is untrue
1/26/2022
What brightness shines in me
Is matched in the shadowed depths
For one cannot be
Without the other
