8/31/2021 – what rage
What rage has Earth for we
Who tread upon her?
Your smile
Like a seed it grows and blossoms
Like the wind it tickles my skin
Like the sun it melts my heart
Like the night, it calms my soul
8/26/2021 – when?
Swirling time knocks on my window
Pecking like a bird with a seed
Incessant
Unyielding
Asking: when?
8/25/2021
And when the raging torrent of time
Passes by
Winding before you
Roaring about you
Step in

The black and lonely sky
Like music, bright and heav’nly song,
Their stories writ so high
8/19/2021 – a haiku

8/16/2021 – a haiku

And who truly wins?
8/14/2021 – a haiku

Without the night preceding
The day, following?
