Such little ink-wrought wonders on a page
That spring to life in sunset colors bright
And characters from some forgotten age
Bring dance and music to a quiet night

10/26/2021 – a haiku
Your lips against mine
My breathing feels fuller now
My heartbeat quickens
10/25/2021
The cool air crystallizes
All around
And words grow still
Their rhythm
Arrested
But with them
The heat
Subsides
10/23/2021 – a haiku
Galloping hooves, loud
As my thoughts race ‘round again
Seeking calm pasture
10/22/2021
As winter comes so will life’s madness cool
And, gathered ‘round a fire, we can break bread
And with our kin such fantasies unspool
As could not be imagined in one head
10/21/2021
Oh, but to sing of days long past
Of stories long-known
And long-forgotten
Oh, but to know them deep
In my heart
To let my soul echo
In remembrance
10/20/2021 – without wisdom
Once with a question we
Could open doors of truth
Could ask for wisdom and
Receive it, given free
And yet it seems to me
That when I ask today
I hear from those who think themselves so wise
And never those whose minds are broad and deep
10/19/2021 – a haiku
Tender, stretching notes
An orchestra playing joy
Giving me sweet peace
10/18/2021
For whom do I create?
For you, for me?
For some imagined audience
Quiet as the still night?
I think I create
For that soul
Which cannot survive without
That creation
Is that you?
Someone else?
Or some hidden part of me?
And if it is the last
How can I know him better?
10/16/2021 – a haiku
Like sweetest honey
The air after a spring rain
Are your lips to me
