When summer takes leave,
fall embellishes the views,
and cues winter’s eve.

These States, United,
looked to the heavens, as one
nation under God

HAIKU (UNTITLED)

Clouds of witnesses weep

We’ve lost our first Love.
Even clouds of witnesses
Weep over our land.

“… for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning.”  ~ Lamentations 3

 

Dawn’s light emerges,
Hastening a new week’s cares.
Her knees, eroding.

Vivid moss roses
Flamboyant ruby hummers
Adore(n) her prayer walk

A murky morning.
Gloom seems to silence nature.
A still, small Voice calls.

The sun failed to rise,
She believes.  And so she seeks
Son’s radiant grace.

Unsettling dream
Halted by sound of music
Caroled in her heart

Her heart feels absent;
Her spirit, arid and parched.
A gentle rain falls.

As dusk’s light withdraws,
She reaches out for His hand,
And there, finds her heart.

aging winter bark
cracks, moans, fades, unfurls
much like this old girl

Winter streams give life,
Yet how icy are the veins
Through which blood runs cold.

Brief thaw, pre-spring
Sparrows share what little’s there
Charity takes wing

It’s best when
It’s not the hard places
That stand out.
