All of the seas can only wish
soft sand upon its feet,
away from storm on safe coastlines
where ruffling curves and ridges crest
...

As the sunlight seeks me,
I see the early clouds
Kneeling on the mountainsides
Etching their hopes
...

You gather words
like wood
and burn them
altogether.
...

Write on, dear one
For you whose days
Are dark and long
For you whose nights
...

...

She was born for him,
He often reminds her

A compulsive writer,
...

Cherry blossoms sprout
Before those tiny buds
Can break into leaves
...

Can you
hold on
longer?
...

There is something
about Spring; always
eagerly expecting
a constancy of hope,
...

the sound of cargo train
tooting across the valley
in the middle of the night -
i miss
...

Whoever reminds us
that we swim in a bowl of candies
does thrive in crafty poetry.
...

...

These are the nights
When memories sting
As clouds sailing over the sky
Large vessels of peace so high
...

lavender - haiku

cheerful mountain sun
the lavender you enthralled
...

When It Finds Us

Most nights begin the hunt
for some lows and highs
...

the heaven comes and ocean falls
rinses the mighty hills
the trees of dreams, some tumbling down
helplessly they now bow
...

Those apples in bushels:
green, some yellow,
and in many shades of red.
Jonamac, Braeburn, Jonathan
...

when i could think aloud
i would sing my hymns
and strum through the wind
...

Morning gift:
still in my bed
i wake up each morning
staring at a fresh cup of coffee
...

Dazzle my heart
With your warmth
Bask in the color of life
Mother, I pray you stay
...
