Dribbles

If you want to change
Your life you may rearrange
The furnishings of
Your placement, occupation,
Moving across the nation.

Tadpoles in water live,
Sprouting legs to become frogs,
Taking to land, air;
We form environments for
Our growth and satisfaction.

Music collides with
Feelings making everyone
Obtain happiness.

I held a droplet
In my hand to understand,
The lives of humans.

Haiku Quintet

Holding your hand gives
Me such a comfortable
Feeling, life seems bright.

It does not matter
How it is we find our way,
Roses bloom in Spring.

I am so inept
Very much out of my depth,
Dancing timid steps.

I seclude myself
When I pour my heart out loud,
Winter birds still sing.

Fear like a jacket
Slips around all the things thought,
Canceling progress.

Celebrating

Today has been all about Richard and I am only going to take a few moments to say it has been a wonderful day.

I hope all of you are having a great beginning of the holiday season. Mine has been most enjoyable.

When you find your gift
You know sharing it is life,
Winter trees survive.

**********

Love invites us in
Warming us in our spirits,
The waves unshaded.

**********

Who will we be when
We realize love is all
Fit to be carried?

Four Haiku

The day befalls like
A steady downpour of rain
Over whitecapped waves.

When the clouds gather
Bringing stormy weather near;
Look! The distance clears!

A pen in salute
Is more delicious than wine –
Edifying lives.

Love tenderly plays
Until the music made is
A graceful concert.
