Purple

Purple covers warm
souls exchanging unexpectedly –
Opportunities that knock brightly

Traveler

Bones falling apart
Too tired –
Traveler, your name

Night

The night casts darkness
Hearts shine –
Dawn for all

Thank you Basho

How timeless you are, Basho
Let me follow your steps

Situation or condition
Emphatic punctuation –
Sudden perception

The elements of Haiku

Intense inquiry

I circle the Truth
More awake than before
Problems are my signposts
Healing follows where Chi leads
Becoming whole is my daily journey
Good mood is always a choice

No other road exists for me
I keep eating my frogs
Daily growth continues

Intense inquiry
Brings dawn closer
I go with the flow
My heart warms

Nest

Caring for a nest
Warming the good
Warning outsiders
Nurturing creation

Spirit of place

Same road traveled again
Car has two passengers only
The others soared westward
A moment of emptiness
A space is connected to friends
Or can I touch its own spirit?
Warm green firs greet me
As I pass by and celebrate
