Gratefulness
Wonder of weathers Breeze from east, sun overhead Clouds appear, rain drops.
Cardinals whistle Robins step-stop sensing worms Earth ready to sprout.
Garden beds exposed Driftwood pieces on brown soil Search for them next month
Day ten with new hip Science, nature: miracle Metal gift from earth.
Silence Space Air Time Noise replaced by nothingness. Dwell within silence.
A musical rest Silence with notes on both sides. Hear the difference.
First cane-aided walk Nostrils funnel fresh spring air Wind tousles hair. Ah
Our Lady blazes Relics lost. Sad tragedy. History remains
Still summer morning Lone loon paddles silently Barely a ripple
Kayaking near shore Hear water gurgle behind See pines bend in wind
Nature includes me I am part of everything We live together
Spring season tweets hope Birdsong symphony of joy Life begins anew
I liked the freedom from writing sentences.
Dainty white snow drops Purple and cream hellebore Spring in the garden
Cardinals, Robins On branches bare and leafless Singing spring birdsongs
The lake is lost in the rain which is lost in the lake. Brother Steindl-Rast
I am drawn to this haiku because it connects me to water, rain, lake. In this haiku, I notice the circularity of water dropping as rain into the lake where it is lost. I experience the sense of loss of each singular raindrop which is found in the mass of lake molecules of water. They are one.
