Sleep Amongst the Stars

Sleep amongst the stars

Lover’s eyes gaze upon you

What awaits beyond

Stars Caress the Sky

Stars caress the sky

Holding Heaven in their arms

Eternal lovers

Summer’s Heat, July

Summer’s heat, July

Birds…bees sing their joyful songs

By nature’s design.

Sadly we too oft’ ignore

Beauty that lay before us.

 

Distracted by life

All just to try to survive

We get very lost.

Perhaps if we took a step back

What we’re missing would be found.

 

Look to the sky, grass,

Look to the simplicity in life

For what’s important.

This is what Mother gave us

To keep from going insane.

Sky, Canvas of Blue

Sky, canvas of blue

Bespectacled by wondrous birds

Melody of song

Sung naturally without urge

So often ignored by man

O’ the things we miss

Rushing in our meager lives

How terribly sad

Perhaps taking a moment

We’d realize what’s important

The Silvery Moon (Haiku)

The silvery moon

Waits for heaven to call her

Mystical suitor

Crescent Moon Through Clouds (Haiku)

Crescent moon through clouds

Once shrouded in mystery

Lost to ancient times

Streaks Across the Sky (Haiku)

Streaks across the sky

An unnatural beauty

Contrails mosaic

Grey and Sullen Day

Grey and sullen day

Sun muted by heaven’s cloak

From window chairs view

Birds and bees care little

Refusing to deviate

A glorious show

Playing out on natures stage

Standing ovation

Lush Green Against Blue (Haiku)

Lush green against blue

Dormant maple springs to life

Birth of the season

Modern Art Skyline (Tanka)

Modern art skyline

From the brush of Picasso

A true masterpiece

Painted in antiquity

It is irreplaceable
