Haiku about friends
Standing at a crossroad Between this life And the next, Heart in hand I knock on that
Walking on the beach of long ago, the constant roll of the gulf, it’s sound, like a lullaby.
Walking on the edge, Between awareness and sleep. Sometimes... I’m in the moment, I feel my body,
What inspires me... Hummingbirds buzzing as they land, on nearby flowers. Their amazing wings
Half a world away, I walk a narrow, stone path. In the rice fields, the Balinese people
The lines in my hand, Were read once, By a gypsy, who Predicated a long life... But with many interruptions.
The white snow, thin Like sand, over The fields, blowing Across the road. My car rambles
Life is not fair at times... But of course things Change quickly down the line, We are born into a No guarantee world.
The wind went through me, it carried the yellow, orange and red leaves lightly on the air. Another change is coming,
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
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,
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
The gift of summer Is the sound of a Creek flowing through Rocks. A blue bird perched
Sitting on the lake shore, Which made my heart soar, The water rippled at times, Swirled into beautiful lines, Clouds reflected in it’s mirror,
Time is going by fast, Trying not to live in the past, To keep priorities straight And not falter at the gate. To join the universal goal
