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

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 ~

Impossible dreams

purple, red colors
brightening gray horizon;
garden on roof top

~0~0


i search stars above
unblinking in what can be;
possibilities

~0~0


i hold burning torch
steady in my hands; seeking
curtain of silence






For Haiku Heights:   Prompt 89 - is Impossible

Invitations

the lake waters rise
from deep briny ocean bed
inviting swimmers




see the blue mountains
closely touching the skies, clouds
beckoning, come close

~O~O

Boat ride

preparing to sail away

Street sounds


fire engine blaring
along crowded narrow street
alas, false alarm

~0~0~

clock chimes
tall buildings in a row sighed
as feet rushed outside


~0~0~


national game day
horns and whistles blowing loud
street full of colours

the world turned blue
when pining words in letter

over colored freckled clouds
portent of magic

Unadorned, I gaze  
your beauty flourishing each day 
magnificent

red, blue, orange veins straining
wanting to explode

Brightest Star



Mind full of my cares
Today’s errands
Tomorrow’s to do list

Hand tired, listless   
Loads of my laundry to do
Multi-tasking all the time

I look up to see gloden sun
Serenely splashing its yellow light
Across blue canvas, green fields.

Reminding me of cheerful spirit
of my frail aunt, a widow  
taking care of poor, abandoned
street children with laughter in her eyes
and light step in her gait

I keep still and breathe slowly
The quiet of the day  
Heart warmed by brightest star
