I scrubbed clean my house
And the path to the door
And the stones by the path
And the flowers by the stones
And yet I wondered
Who I did it for

6/17/2022 – a haiku
Take my hand in yours
Walk me down your life story
Teach me what is you
6/16/2022 – that I pass by
I have wondered
When I’ve wandered
What secrets I might miss
What unseen truths might hide behind
The trees and stones and rivers that I pass by
6/15/2022 – guardrails in my mind
At the midway mark
I wondered to myself
Whether I ought to have taken another path
And then I recalled
That the branches of the path
Are infinite
The opportunities
Are countless
And the guardrails
Only in my mind
6/14/2022 – a haiku
I hear trees sighing
As if free for a moment
From what we have wrought
6/13/2022 – fill again with thee
The moment that you walked beyond
The limits of my sight
Even as our unearthly bond
Blazed in my heart as light
I wept for that you were not near
No longer in my reach;
Unbidden rose that boundless fear
Upon my hopes, a leech
Yet still the light shines in my soul
Unseeing do I see
And know that soon my heart’s deep hole
Will fill again with thee
6/11/2022
I sigh a bit and die a bit
Each time I walk that road
To tread upon an unloved yon
Does my soul thus erode
6/10/2022 – a haiku
The heat’s rolling in
And bringing a stifling air
Oh, where is the wind?
6/9/2022 – inaction as action
They say light
Acts differently when observed
So that by watching
Measuring
You have changed it
Your inaction
Is action
6/8/2022 – to make the unseen seen
My thoughts wander
Through the undiscovered
And the well-trodden
And everywhere in between
And I find
Little brings me more pleasure
Than that stone unturned
That turn not taken
Not to be first
But to make the unseen seen
