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

East
Over in the East, /
burning below night’s pains, /
rises dawn’s searching flame.

Smudge
Merry Christmas smudged /
over smiles and tears; charting /
its own way through pain.

Rebirth
Life is born in pain /
Reborn within each crisis. /
Love anew again.

Dew drops and rain drops /
And tears falling from my eyes /
Renewal and pain.

Pain, that subtle beast, /
dances across memories, /
clutching time’s embrace.

Love is not defined /
except by the open heart /
and pain at parting.

Pain is a song /
whose melody is as true /
as its words are inadequate.
[Editor’s note: a modified haiku structure, varying a little from the 5 syllable, 7 syllable, 5 syllable structure. Still, I believe it carries the spirit of a haiku.]
