Haiku about friends
Itchy eyes scaly feet achy joints and bad teeth hair so fine
What is the happiest moment of the… When I make someone laugh When I am of use for the good When I show kindness When I hold a hand
In the noble purpose of my life, In the clear and quiet chamber Of my soul, In the open and warm cave Of my heart,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Remember the night we took your mother’s car and drove over the skyway bridge? The moon was a bright light to show the way.
When you are not here An empty heart full of fear Arises and wonders If I will see you again. What will I do without
Life is like a dream A star studded sky A blink of an eye Oh, how life slips by. Life is like a song
Her smile was like gold, Her lines were often bold, Her stories of wisdom told, In books that are now sold. She has left the earth,
Harsh reality smacks like a slap of cold wind. Sometimes I’m a tough sailor, at the helm,
Cold spring rain chills my body And yet, the birds fly in unison As if, it is a sunny day. The white tail deer Bounce through the ravine
What is truth? It’s a changing sky, One day clear, The next, cloudy, Holding the blue and grey,
To open and risk hurt... Or stay closed but Never really live. Pain can reveal... A connection to
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
You may not know what you’ll do next: Hit the open road With your thumb stuck out. Give up all you own
Pink hues from the west Filter through Snow covered boughs Leaving, The evening light
