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
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
All travel alone /
Each in a boxcar of flesh /
Whistling goodbye.

“Unbidden”
Unbidden
Unbidden, Spring blooms, /
poking through neglect and pain, /
yellow and graceful.

Morning light divides. /
Shadows wander like false ghosts: /
here, dark, and then gone.

The road, the clouds, the wires /

from your moments here.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Grabbing”
Grabbing
Bare limbs grab at Moon, /
fingers clutching through night fog. /
My ghost escapes hope.
