Forgotten treasure

Early books you find /

Sitting unknown on the shelf: /

Forgotten treasure.

The wall

Is it the wall or /

The reflection of the wall /

That holds you in?

The sign

A sign of the times /

Keep your clothes on is not /

Just an expression.

Sweet Heat

Sweet heat of Jesus /

Tastes full-bodied on your tongue /

Psalm to calm it down.

Haiku and photo: “Clouds”

Clouds

Morning light, gray clouds /

Earth below, folded in shrouds /

Of deep rays and rain. /

Poem and photo: “Flickering”

Flickering

Next remembers nothing /

Of the world it inherited /

From yesterday’s dreams /

Burning brightly but shortly /

On a stack of birthday cake. /

Take all the kindness /

And burn away the sorrow:

One flame for regret /

One flame for forgetfulness /

Two for forgiveness: one outer/

And one inner /

One flame for the quiet that may never come /

One flame for all left not done. /

And maybe one for love stretched over the decades /

Flickering still on this least of holy nights.

Haiku and photo: “Odds and Ends”

Odds and ends

Stray cat, tame flowers. /

February spring, March hours. /

Love now, storm glowers.
