Over & Over

 

Crashing swells erase
impressions on sand I make,
over and over.

Hope

 

Light pierces gray clouds
oppressing turbulent seas.
Lone gull soars aloft.

 

 

***I wrote and posted this before reading a repost from O at the Edges. My work has always been about finding internal peace. This, though, was a hope we all find peace with each other. So, for what its worth, here’s my contribution to #PoetsForPeace ***

I Walk – a Haiku

Eschewing a plane,
I walk towards solitude
ten minutes from home.

Desert wilderness,
stippled in olive and beige,
lures soles to pavement.

Simplicity

Jewel box lays empty.
Rather, I wander the woods,
boots begrimed by earth.

 

 

***Hats off to the ladies who work full time while raising babies and still manage to post on time. <sigh> I, on the other hand, have only myself to baby, and I still miss deadlines. Sorry. 😦

Hiking

Red Earth stains my shoes,
climbing Angel’s Landing in
clear-headed silence.

Desert Weather – a Haiku

Tempest clouds the sky
and drowns the valley in floods,
then sun shines brightly.

From Inside

Two butterflies dance
in the garden though clouds loom.
I watch from inside.

***Hi! I’m posting early, because I’ll be “radio silent” for ~2 weeks. Off exploring the world, looking for inspiration beyond my garden. 🙂

Gymnopedie #1 – a Haiku

Ivory keys fall
in mournful chords, notes dancing
like rain on pavement.

Borrowed Time

Verdant grass droops brown.
Giant mountains slide to mounds.
Earth spins round and round.

**Apologies for the delayed post. It’s been a whirlwind week, but I didn’t want to go down the no-post-just-this-week road again (you know where that leads!).
