Earth Day

“What is the universe? Space. Out of space came a coagulation that became a nebula, and out of the nebula, millions of galaxies, and within one constellation of galaxies, a sun, with our little planet circling it. Then out of the earth came us, the eyes and the consciousness and the ears and the breathing of the earth itself.”

– Joseph Campbell

“Let us”

Let us

Let us ride balloons: /

Up to the heavens and moons. /

Light as grace and stars.

Remembering

“As long as they talk about you, you’re not really dead, as long as they speak your name, you continue. A legend doesn’t die, just because the man dies.”

“Watchful”

Watchful

Watch as night gathers. /

The moon and clouds coalesce. /

Fears and dreams do, too.

“Morning fire”

Morning fire

Fire wakes crisp fall sky. /

Morning cloud plumes like fresh smoke. /

Air cold as dead dreams.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Communion”

Communion

Cooper’s Hawk waits /

in empty communion /

with scattered birds.

“Green monk”

Green monk

Green monk of summer /

Bending toward the end of days. /

Seeding for the spring.

“Autumn descends”

Autumn descends

Old leaves and lost light, /

days of autumn descend on /

young cat and stone bench.
