with grains of pollen
This is the ninth 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!
you still have that dream
of flight above all of it
to feel the cloud’s breath
dynamic systems
within your life bring chaos
absolute beauty
what once brought me joy
has become an impetus
ringing in my head
we perch at the top
on dead branches among clouds
so we can perceive
with no dimension
you can be a single point
to be a focus
love gutter bubbles
perfect hemispheres reflect
they show us the sky
I just glimpsed the light
another reality
shining through the ground
you ensure the life
that surrounds us all, will grow
with grains of pollen
you gather to speak
together like wolves that howl
in waves of cawing
play brings character
and the unexpected joy
to the norms of life
the forget-me-nots
are now weeks past their season
brightening shadows
you were in my hands
tiny feet, before you died
little chickadee
our feathers tell us
stories of chases, of flight
ruffles in our time
see generations
in one sedum, young to old
in growth together
do we flock like Boids?
cohesion yet separate
and staying aligned
you do amaze me
finding your way without sight
holding tight; reaching
baby nuthatches
quivering with their cuteness
sit now before me
when I am running
I do feel incredibly free
to dwell within me
my orchid’s face me
maybe all flowers do this
the ones that I see
