A WEEK IN HAIKU

Photo by Keith R. Good

“… 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.

UNWANTED NEIGHBORS (Diminished Hexaverse)

The trouble with hawks
Is they cause trouble.
So when they began
To nest in our oak,
They were not welcome.

Squirrels were here first.
Jays were here first,
As were robins,
And chickadees

And others.
Don’t under-
Estimate

Others.
Hawk nest?

Hawked.

My mind was entombed
In the dark night of my soul.
Then it dawned on me …

This is the first time I have posted words gleaned from someone else. I created this little site to be a place to pair my own poetry with images from others … but these words from my pastor so richly and deeply touched me, I wanted to share them here. As is often the case, one of my husband Keith’s photos serves as a perfect backdrop.

If you do not know this Yahweh Elohim Pastor Kain speaks of, I would be honored to introduce Him to you. Feel free to leave a comment below, with a way to get in touch with you.
