Spring Equinox
To bird song
up in the tree
laughter sort
and gaiety
For dawn to break
with warming rays
comfort found
from cloudy days
To sounds so sweet
warmth entwine
embrace complete
To love divine

Beach Life
My path took me to the waters edge
and pulled me back
feet on the sand
of moveable ground
And my eyes upon the skies
of appearing
pink hues of
another sunset
Release to resolve
is the talk of the wind
caressing my hair
than saltiness on the lips
The words are now far behind
and impressions
not yet made
in the sand ahead

Haibun: Night Time
As the end of the day
merges into night
the clock pushes
the minutes into hours
turning over to the next day
What will tomorrow bring?
that will be told tomorrow
As time shrinks to midnight
I am grateful for all that is
All that has been told
Day merges to night
Turning over through midnight
As moments unfold
For #NaPoWriMo
This is a haibun, a combination of prose poem and haiku.

Chaos
The chaos of the view
it is not disarray,
but cyclical decay
There is no anarchy
nor void of wealth
But earth rich matter
This is order existing
in simplicity
creating eternity
(WPC: Chaos)
Butterfly Friends
At Holehird Gardens, Windermere the fragrant blooms
of the wisteria attract the butterflies in large numbers.
There must have been at least ten of the darlings on the
flowers at one time.
It has been a dream of mine to have a butterfly land
on my hand so I stood patiently with my palms flat
and open to the sky hoping one of them would land
for just a short while.
I didn’t manage to entice one to my hand
but two of them did approach,
one on my scarf and one on my shoulder.
Pure delight.
