The World has no ends
A person must make a start
One may do so here
|
|
New snow on mountains
Remember who will remain
They will need our love
|
|
Sun bright in heaven
Gazing for too long in love
Sightless forever |
|
May Morning Mountain Mist
Morning has broken
Mists cling high on the mountain
Not long to be here
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pool reflecting World
Surface hiding the true depth
Like most that we see
|
|
The Mourning Dove
The Morning Dove flies over the field, dew glistens on every blade.
Soft are the sounds of the mourning crowds that gather on the glade.
When is too soon and soon enough?
When is young and old enough?
Time passes as it will.
But friends gather as friends will
In groups on the mourning hill.

Sodden
sulky grey
Clouds veil the mountains complete
Are we on the plain?
|
|
Mighty Cloud
Cloud towering high
Dwarfing mountain below it
Crushing it slowly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fall
Folliage Fire
Bright Warmth on Foggiest Day
The Year's End Blazing!
|
|
|
Grey
roof winter cloud
Softly turns to winter snow
White blanket cover
|
|
|
Voices in the Dark
Voices in the dark
Speaking in quiet whispers
Shouting for justice
|
|
Santa Claus
Santa Claus not real?
He looked so sad when I asked.
Believe in your heart.

Support is like a brace or a foundation.
Judgement like a tug or shove.
Tugging can help
Shoving might help
But tugging can pull down
Shoving can push over
Positive or negative judging can hurt
Support more easily a brace that can be taken or gracefully declined
Support a foundation more easily built upon

Hidden
mountaintop
Unseen by village below
Sun shining above

Frail Time
I don't think I mind growing old.
A bit more ache and pain.
But watching friends grow frail
And some I'll not see again.
But life can't be held back.
It marches always on.
We must travel forth
With every passing sun.
Use the time we have.
To give to all our love.
For in the very end.
We'll share love again above.

Gloomy
Deep dark darkest deep
Etch colours of painful gloom
Looking for the light
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Naked Trees
Naked trees in fog
Brown against soft grey you stand
Guardposts against gloom
|
|
|

Night Dreams
Night
A kaleidescope of dreams
Parading for their purpose
Oft important it seems
Night
So full of vision light
Symbolic or direct
Where do you lead me tonight

| Make a Smile |
|
All I want to do is help,
Make a difference in a life.
All I want is to bring a smile,
Make a life worthwhile.
So much hurt I see about,
So many frowning faces.
Can't I just stay a while,
And make one child smile?
|
I see gloom and pain around,
So many seeking woe.
Can't I point out a smile,
Show gold within the mile?
All I want to do is help,
Make a difference in a life.,
All I want is to bring a smile
Make a life worthwhile.

Haiku first line from my name?
That is just plain weird. |

Plot
|
Brown patch on white
Still soft not hard
Cold not warm
Flowers on the earth
Petals in the snow
Branches bare of snow
|
Stark against the sky
Black brown against blue
Rattle in the breeze
Stark against the sky
White grey against the black
Whicket in the wind
|
Stark against the sky
Red brown against the grey
Shiver in the drafts
Green grass on green lawn
Small daisies strewn about
Fresh flowers by a plaque
|

.
If the wingbeat of a butterfly can effect the weather yet to come.
Imagine the effect of a heartbeat from the love of a loved one.

Amazing
The journey of life
What an interesting path
What's 'round the corner
.
|
|
The Sky is still up!
The sky is still up!
The ground is still down!
If you can still make your kids giggle,
There's no need to frown!

A New Day
Another day here
A birthday like another
Marks a new gateway
|
|
Waiting
Where are you my love
Waiting for our first meeting
Longer while alone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Absence
Absent returning
Feeling so outside myself
Alone even at home

A Friends' Gate
Haven safe from storms
Fear fades with friendly support
Welcome to my friends
