“Open”

Open

Two leaves search for spring. /

Rain falls and searches the leaves. /

New starts and old ways.

“Wings”

Wings

The thorns are first /

and then the leaves bud forth: /

wings for the flowers.

“Blue dot”

An astronaut aboard the Apollo 11 took this photo in 1969.

We claim this blue dot. /

The seasons share our small sphere, /

and yet, we cannot.

Entwined

Old and new embrace. /

Winter entwines with Spring: /

leaves both brown and green.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Facade”

Facade

Once a building, now /

reclaimed by leaves and lichen, /

glistened by the rain.

“Life”

Life

Mushrooms grow on death, /

turning a lifeless tree trunk /

Into life support.

Sentinels

On the quiet stairs, /

holding hope for next Christmas, /

sentinels wait….

“Tracks”

Tracks

All travel alone /

Each in a boxcar of flesh /

Whistling goodbye.

“Unbidden”

Unbidden

Unbidden, Spring blooms, /

poking through neglect and pain, /

yellow and graceful.
