SILENCE
Flutter of falling leaves—
without knowing
or understanding
whispers enter
as silence listens
between grasping and grappling—
beyond imagining
holding is to no avail
visioning reveals essence
translating hidden meaning
listen to silence—

The book THE GATHERED POEMS came out yesterday. My poem Silence, along with seven of my haiku/senryu, was included. It is an honor to be published among so many talented poets. Thank you, Lisa and Seth, for all your work in putting together the open mic events and for publishing.
timeless timepiece ticks
echoing argent silence—
knock of new moon shift

whisp of wind whispers—
now unraveling regret—
untethering time

no whisper of wind
silence ever echoing—
