Aurora crackling…
trilling sounds pierce the curtain.
Sandhill Crane redeye.

Brisk laughing water.
Babbling brook prefers the stairs.
Nature’s symphony.

Coyote howling.
Snow filling ancient river.
A sacred calling.

Starry canopy…
Eternal sanctuary
calling me homeward.

Honking calls workers.
Field of preening and plucking.

Daylily Glory.
Brevity of a full life.
Exalted giving.

Hush of cool night air…
mountain lion’s piercing call.
Flash of falling star!

Hush of snowflakes fall…
reaching to sever the sound…
words heard melt away.

DAWN
Pink hues delight in dance…
softly touching their fingers
upon feathery yawning clouds.
The honking, not of the city,
emanates from the V of outstretched wings
pointing intently toward the shifting light.
Untethered barking, in the wilderness,
are songs sung by wild dogs
singing to a setting moon.
Pink hues…
marvelously meandering…
gently fading into the day.

HAIKU
HAIKU 0040
Mystery of life…
I am wearing out my shoes,
eternal seeking.
HAIKU 0045
A book on the shelf
with a dusty cracked binding…
knows his long-lost friend.
HAIKU 0113
Helene devastated
photos, dolls, lives… swept away.
Ocean of grieving.
HAIKU 0116
Fiddlehead ferns bow
as hummingbirds are clapping.
Frost faces tearing.
HAIKU 0101
Trilling sounds echo…
sandhill cranes migrating south.
Snowflakes are waving.
HAIKU 0001
Hush of snowflakes fall…
reaching to sever the sound…
words heard melt away.

INTO THE NIGHT
A falling star
landed in my heart last night
after traveling through
a canopy of forever.
Like a final note striking,
in a silent symphony,
hanging brilliantly
throughout the night.
Throughout the night.
I too, like a falling star,
will eventually let go
knowing deep within my heart
She will catch my last tear.
And though my spirit yearns
to soar among the stars…
and hears the call
“Come home…”
“Come home.”
I know the hardest thing
I ever will do…
is take that final, forever
step,
into the night.
