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 longingly to a setting moon.
Pink hues…
marvelously meandering…
fading gently into the day.

Whispering colors
beyond the stained-glass windows
Falling leaves settle
HAIKU 0116
Fiddlehead ferns bow
as hummingbirds are clapping.
Frost faces tearing.
HAIKU 0122
Aurora crackling…
trilling sounds pierce the curtain.
Sandhill Crane redeye.

Quill’s heavy black ink—
silence the screams in the night—
the dark veil lightens
HAIKU 0115
Emptiness listens—
and plays upon taught heartstrings.
Patiently, she waits.
SENRYU 0007
Falling through this world
forgetting to catch myself—
I glimpse forever

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.
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.
