my soul blows kisses
This is the sixth set of haiku from my daily practice started on January 1st, 2021. The previous set is is here. I publish a new set every 19 days. Enjoy!
as a treehugger
plant me beside, beneath one
the ultimate hug
in an empty lot
between the houses, hidden
pocket of lilies
when you lean into
that mountain ahead; summit;
spread your arms and fly
I have a secret.
when overwhelmed with beauty,
my soul blows kisses
like glaciers in spring
chaffing ice in the sun’s warmth
tulips melt petals
you reach for the moon
your little arms, unaware
of that great distance
we are projections
of all in the past/future
the shadows today
pappus chains; circles
pack them like bijou trinkets
memories’ bubbles
puddles of sunlight
scintillate with the soft breeze
ablutions from sky
that forest fragrance
of moss, earth, stream, trees, and life
lingers deep inside
tuck your babies in
with bits of pollen and mud
lullaby buzzing
vortex of petals
come to hold my hand, farewell
white gives way to green
the swallows are here
dancing in erratic flight
then they perch, so still
seeds we plant today
may bring forth fruits beyond us
propagating good
happiness is now
breathe it, let it permeate
ev’ry living cell
shadows can bring forth
awareness of light; contrast;
reveal gratitude
a tender wave wafts
through my entire being
I awake in grace
oh, fairyslipper
so delicate and hidden
a precious orchid
I wish I knew how
to comfort devastation
it can feel hopeless
