Silence. I hear it
After wind’s fury calming
Beginning new day
Alchemy
Imagine dawn sky dressed in pink-ribboned clouds
Trees green-leaved in summer
Changing colors for autumn
Sobered by stillness of bare-branched winter
Chilling cold and deep silence.
Imagine a mother of sons and grandchildren
Heart filled with wonder, love, joy
And trepidation
World is near changing
Beyond recognition.
Imagine aging a worthy challenge
Rich adventures and exploring
Forge wisdom a gift
Hard-won and enduring
Unknown roads lie ahead
But for today the sun is shining
Golden hours to seize and embrace.
Shadows, too, can be lovely
I’ll plumb them tomorrow.
Translating my life into poems.
Haiku: Winter Sky Watch
Small patch of pink clouds
Lit by sun just coming up
Previews things to come
Haiku: Different Kind of Pink
Dawn sky Jack Frost style
Fingers pull apart gray clouds
Paint pink polka dots
Haiku: Changing Tempos
Winter dawning sky
Lovely clouds with stripes of pink
Linger for my view
Sky of summer dawn
Early wash of rose and blue
Soon replaced by sun
I miss winter sky
In no hurry to move on
Seems a lot like me
