Parched and cracked from summer’s heat
Alive with rain’s breath

Subtle Energy

Subtle energy,

A gift–to me from the ancestors.

My way of giving to others.

Not as the source,

But as a humble conduit.

I am minute,

A speck of something much larger.

Using the gentlest of touch

Or even none at all

Healing from the Divine passes.

Knowing energy–

Through the most mortal of hands.

Some call it evil,

The work of the devil,

But it is not, how could it be

When offered with love.

Perhaps its mystery scares them

Or perhaps it threatens their beliefs,

I do not know.

Such a strange twist of logic is this,

To dismiss something born of goodness

That can never harm.

If only all beliefs were as pure

And as in tune with nature as this.

Would not the world be a more peaceful, loving…

And less violent place.

Under Cloud Soaked Skies (Haiku)

An aimless wanderer strolls

At peace with the world

Winter In The Wings (Haiku)

Winter in the wings
Insects in their final throes
Succumb to the cold

Sand and Sea Refresh (Haiku)

Soothing our body and soul
Nature at it’s best

Butterflies and Bees (Haiku)

Butterflies and bees
Swarm the rainbow of flowers
Falls Thanksgiving feast

Daybreak (Haiku)

Daybreak–breath rising
Frost, icy cold to the touch
Fall is in the air
