As dusk settles in
We bid farewell to the day
Ushering in night
Not so unlike that of man
Drifting from life into death

At this Holy time
Many go through the motions
For eggs and candy
A bizarre celebration
Forgetting His death and rise

Warm–moist is the breeze
Accompanying the buzz
~~ Mosquitos draw blood
~
A blood moon eclipse
Is this the sign of end times
~~ An infrequent visit
~
Shadows in the night
Tend to breed anxiety
~~ There’s nothing to fear

Poetry Prompt Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku With Ha: To Feel The Night
-
Do you believe in coincidence,
Perhaps in luck
Or do you believe in something from above?
A guardian angel watching unseen,
Keeping an eye on where you go
Leading you on from where you’ve been.
Is this so impossible
In a “Wonderful Life” kind of way?
There are things we don’t know
Since the beginning of time until today.
As strange as it may seem I believe they are real,
This doesn’t need confirmed with the five senses
I can’t explain it, it’s something I feel.
Maybe this is what eternity has defined as trust,
I really don’t know, I can’t be sure.
All I know is that I have to, surely I must,
No other explanation could be the cure.
There are things not of this world that we sense every day,
Defying the best of logic and human science.
Nothing more needs said, nothing more I can say,
In the divine we must put our faith and reliance.

A heart of crystal
Once brought into the light
Cannot be snuffed out,
…Its love shines eternal.

Gazing up at the stars too numerous to count,
I wonder…am I alone in this universe,
But how could I be alone in this great vastness?
How many planets are out there,
Invisible to the naked eye,
Invisible to the most powerful of human invention?
What wondrous life must surely exist
Somewhere under these uncharted atmospheres,
Somewhere beyond our mortal senses.
Only our own arrogance could blind us to the possibility,
That we are not solitary creatures.
For now, dreams of faraway places will have to suffice,
Living in my vivid imagination
Until proof can be delivered by the skeptics.

Image by Tom Bagshaw Such a strange world,
Surrounded by creatures small and smaller.
Into this place I’ve been hurled
Though still many times taller.
This is such an odd little place
Where I’m the the center of attention.
Creatures circle, fly and leave without a trace,
Still I’m not sure what’s their intention.
Very still I choose to sit,
Holding a statuesque pose.
Afraid if I twitch or flit,
They may bite my delicate nose.
Or scratch my ivory skin,
Turning snow white to bloody red,
Maybe kick me in the shins,
By god, I look almost dead.
Then suddenly a boom,
To the sound of thunder I awake.
Lying on the floor of my room,
Tell me–how much acid did I take.

Simple song
That no one can hear
In my heart
Bringing joy
And a fullness to this life
That no other can
