In the Shade

Sitting in the shade
of the deepest thank you
lies an i love you.

Confused by meaning
and doubtful of honesty
yet wishing for truth,

it becomes hopeful.
With a heart of forgiveness
amid the grace of God,

a soul rests in peace
finally more couragous
than the love it feared.

The Haiku Experiment - August 2009

The Haiku Experiment

The dark morning sky
so filled with the moon and stars
fought the coming sun.

~

Feet crunching gravel
Music blasting soundlessly
Birds scatter above

~
Blue glass against blue sky
Sun reflects off green water
Stopped in tracks on trail

~

I know who I am
Juliet to Romeo
Wordlessly unsaid

~

A flash of lightening
In a cloudless star-filled sky
Trees bent by chaos

~

luck blown in the wind
chance hidden before the eyes
until warmed by touch

~

Cool sheets warm the soul
Amid lawless anarchy
Calmed by dreams of her.
