Morning Haiku: Prison Earth

If earth is our home
we treat it like a prison
It is our garden

Tanka: Coincidences

It’s all gone backwards
Health, justice, education,
freedom and our faith
They have all been compromised
but it’s mere coincidence

Poem: Give Me The Spring!

Give me the spring,
its light and hope,
or just some freshness to the air
and your uplifting smile.

We shall laugh and dance
in an April shower,
watch the sunrise together
by the empty bracing shore

You can tell me when it’s gone,
this all consuming darkness,
as the burgeoning sun
circles north to bless us

I am stepping back
I’m letting it all flow by
Embracing the change

Daily Haiku: Peace

There’s peace in each step
A light for each darkened room
Love in our passing
