in my coffee cup
This is the eleventh set of haiku from my daily practice started on January 1st, 2021. The previous set is here. I publish a new set every 19 days. Enjoy!
when between two rocks
lift into the sky above
with all of your heart
fractions of flowers
stretch out from golden circles
Pisano petals
ocean sand ridges
paint the histories of tides
and then sweep away
she removes her veil
revealing ancient forest
vestige roots of time
heart rate integrals
could sum the beats of a life
critical moments
strands of life do hang
in helical curls catching
filtered solar light
this year you have bloomed
to remind me of your laugh,
smile, and hands. Nana
you chase in the tree
you yell and fight over it
that small piece of moss
you taught me the words
moments learning the flowers
an umbellifer
on my forest runs
accidental flushing dog
birds flit from my path
look closely on trails
for the hidden forest doors
that lead to wonder
the simplest joy
of dancing curves of sunshine
in my coffee cup
butterfly vortex
flutters and swirls before me
I want to fly in
the color palettes
of an origami quilt
are much to ponder
evening clouds whisper
of the day, of tomorrow
of this time right now
a beautiful gift
to sit and watch little swifts
ajar to the world
when I’m dead and gone
the best gift I could give you
is to leave no trace
“it’s the hill your on”
absolutely wonderful
when you get to peak
self portraits are tough
that’s why we should all do them
mirrors for inside
