A Collection of Haiku
Now to clarify
Some things are to be believed
But not understood
without tears or balm
she waits for the pain to stop
bravely - tenderly
What would this day be
Without the weightless light
Of auspicious spring
will we be sorry
when we cannot see the stars
hooded by our lights
With winter's work done
Tender leaves and limbs sunward
Spring's green gratitude
She is unequal
Composed of contradiction
And amply awry
Measuring your life
You may as well count the stars
While they spin above
The garden table
Well set with spring's bright banquet
Where eager bees dine
Like a harnessed horse
He pulls his story behind
Down a rutted road
Of self-confidence
Count more for intuition
Than calculation
If you need to weep
Covering your face won't help
Cry up to the sky
After all is said
Somewhere between doubt and hope
Waits satisfaction
Rivers, tempests, seas
Where might this water have been?
In tears of laughter?
In time of the nones
Shall we together accept
This is what we have
This little language
Says nothing of love's design
Or but beauty's cause
All of nature born
Are common and arisen
From a Mother's seed
Yes, this place seems right
Where I choose to take some rest
Come, sit here with me
Bring water from the river
Life in the balance
How far can you see?
Over forests, mountains, seas?
Or beyond yourself?
Today is liquid
Whithersoever it flows
Readily I float
Quivering - breathless
Their love inexpressible
They lie heart to heart
Fleeting fulfillment
You don’t know when it’s enough
Until it’s too much
I will not know sin
Accede to heaven's promise
Or dread hell's portents
Got to get on down
To Clarksdale, Mississippi
Crossroads of the blues
Immeasurable
Flowers ought be multitudes
Vast fields or alone
I need to tell you
About the shape that I'm in
Comfortably round
I still have pieces
Of the places we have been
Safely in my heart
When spring first kissed me
Its lips pursed with honey-dew
Therefrom, sweet increase!
May I not forget
The lesson of the seasons
Never born enough
