Light




rainbow of colours 
dazzling light on angel's wings
spreading the good news

against the dark sky
bright rays of hope reaching out
inspiring spirits

energizing heart
until our light force flickers  
bright and strong with love

Passage




steady rushing sound
water twirls, marches to beat 
gateway to new lands

eagle wings soaring  
ragged mountains in slumber
gentle solitude 

ashes in the urn
scattered in river he loves
spirit soaring sky

Dreams






what dreams do you have
fair child of mine



your brown eyes twinkle   
rivalling stars glowing in your room  


your belly laughter peals
reading books on princesses, frogs and goats 


do you know that treasures 
are under your pillows every night


do you know that your hands
hold the magic key to unlock any doors


when you gaze up at the blue skies 
believe you can fly like a bird if you want to


when you dwell upon wide open seas 
imagine possibilities of being ship's captain 


chase every rainbow in your childhood,
run after turtles and hares in all the races 


every day is beautiful and precious, 
and sharing your gifts mean blessings tenfold   


i may not be the perfect mother all the time
but know this, i will always love and believe in you

Obsession

obsession with words 
letters, phrases, syllables 
to write perfect verse 

racing against time
catching thoughts in mid-air flight
to rest in our hands    

0~0~0


sand trickling hourglass,
every second counts as time, 
won't wait nor tarry   

moments carved in glass,
wrapping the past with colours    
irreplaceable 



  


Posted for Haiku Heights:   Prompt # 94 is Obsession.

Mystery



painting colours sprayed 
on concrete walls; nature or  
mystery artist?

~0~0~

eagle wings dazzling 
flight of heights soaring to 
unknown destination


~0~0~

where to find the key
to unlock life's mystery?
if you know, tell me ~
