A Moment

The capture of a moment,
A song that is sung,
Words dancing across the page,
Began when I was young.

In my heart of memories
There is a special revise-
Seizing steely rains
Rippling through dark and
Forging angry skies-

Issuing me a process
To thrust Heaven’s gate wide-
Escorting in the sunshine
To the chambers of my mind,

Allowing me to capture words-
At times along with goodbyes-
And yet, stringing them together
Fashioned and designed,

Freeing them to dance,
For a moment at a time.

Strawberries
Large, juicy and sweet-
Bees drink up

Nature’s Song

I rest on my terrace and the sky is clear,
A few wisps of white clouds are drifting near,
I hear the splashing of water in the fountain nearby,
And the garden plants stretch higher
each day that passes by.
The evening is warm as shadows
commence their dance,
A light kiss from the wind for me and the plants;
It’s peaceful around me,
While birds do their singing,
A lovely chorus for me and
All who will listen;
Our GOD gave us nature,
And sweet designs from above,
I know that I Thank Him,
I hope it’s enough.

Broken bridge
Design to rebuild-
Sparrows sing

Haiku 8/11/14

Sun’s warm touch,
Gentle wind waltzes –
Birds crooning

Haiku 8/7/14

Eyes sparkle,
Gazing at the stars-
Crickets sing
