Even though it’s rained
Summer’s breath still dominates
And sunlight has returned

An Almost Summer Haiku
Love this reddened sky
The darkness bringing cool air
Summer’s antidote
Saturday, June 1: Gratitude
Under this sunshine
Pondering fragility
And life’s strange graces
Such a strange week. Monday afternoon my son crashed his skateboard, ending up with a significant concussion and “mild” bleeding on the brain. Monday night & Tuesday were spent talking about many possible (and frightening) scenarios. Wednesday we’re talking about leaving and Thursday we made it home. Friday we joined some friends for dinner. Surreal, in the end.
Now, we only just started this journey. 45 minutes at dinner with friends exhausted him. He spent most this morning’s energy at our eye doctor’s simply getting glasses adjusted.
We’re home. His mind is mostly intact, and healing quickly. Doctors believe we’ll have 100% recovery. Looking at the possibilities, I feel deep gratitude. We escaped some brutal stuff. I’m grateful for that.
A Friday Night #Haiku
My son is sleeping
As night has taken over
This long week ending
A Spring Haiku
I glance to the sky
Momentarily pausing
Flowers on this breeze
Sunday’s Haiku
This morning: grey
Bold contrast to yesterday
Cool breeze on my skin
Saturday Night’s Haiku
When the night faded
And the birds became silent
The air cooling now
Forward
What’s my path forward?
Unpredictable, of course
My inner voice knows
The right way.
Now, to silence the noise
And listen to the birds
At dawn
Haiku, May 4th, 2019
Sunlight on my skin
Fading into memory
Darkness approaches
Understanding Pandora and her box
At certain moments
I understand Pandora
And her empty box
