Snow welcomed me home
Muse remains in Mexico
Watching bright moon-set
Haiku: Malingering

Love in a Small Package
A little boy, five years old
Part of church on Sunday morning
In the circling of people
Passing peace to one another
Dutifully but unconcerned
He puts up with us
Today like other Sundays
He accompanied his mother
Sitting quietly in a pew
However unlike other Sundays
Prayers were offered for his father
And recovery from a stroke
In the passing of the peace
I offered sympathy and hope
To the mother and her son
He smiled and reached out for my hand
As if to say he always knew
That love was passed with peace
Company’s Gone Home
Summer came inside today
Windows opened wide
Cooling breeze a welcome guest
Heat wave passed with holiday
Hugged relatives and said goodbye
Quiet is settling in
Squirrel is lounging on a branch
Hidden by green oak tree leaves
Cardinal heard but bird not seen
Wind chimes and lovely laughter sounds
Music charming to my ears
Today is calm and bright
Sparkling blue of swimming pool
Invitation to dive in
Turn onto my back and float
Let cares drift away
Old cliché but useful here
Too lazy to create.
Haiku: Fare Forward
Year draws to a close
Peer ahead into unknown
Dreams for the asking
Love, peace, forgiveness
Beyond our imagining
Free flowing justice
Harvest of riches
Strive for the impossible
Believe, be surprised
In Response to the Daily Prompt: Extravagant
Haiku: Respite in Time of Strife
Living in the now
Time of mind and memory
Not how clock tells time
Moment sweet to breathe
Feel the heartbeat of the earth
Sense deep wells within
This is nature’s gift
Peace, tranquility abide
Feathered hope also.
