season's cold blanket
the muffled silence of night
hello winter moon
I've become my dad
which is to say a spirit
destined for silence
sitting in darkness
waiting for the next haiku
black cursor blinking
Still waters; a deer...
drinking in his reflection.
Narcissus in bloom.
alone on the porch
a man welcomes the morning
Spanish cedar flute
yellow ginkgo leaves
tell the fall sky how it feels
to be so alone
A peaceful river
Through the chaos of my mind
Calms mind and body
Alone with my words,
trying to describe a life
I don't understand
Silence on the beach.
Children winter underground.
Castles of bright coal.
senior trees arc near
drawn together like magnets;
quiet love story
Suspended halo
Ice crystals caress the moon
Frigid, hushed moon dogs
Undocumented.
Suffocating stillness lies.
Embers of hope rise.
The silence shatters
As gulls cry out to the dawn,
Signaling first light.
The white rock sits still
Its heart beating fast and loud
At the sight of Fox
Blinding yellow sun
Attempts to hide the faint moon.
Still, it is present.
A summer ago
Echos of humming bees waltzed
Around my hushed mind
They co-existed
Feathery fronds still delight
T-Rex, not so much.
Whippoorwill refrain
cuts through nocturnal silence
piercing hearts of woe
Darkness, quiet rain
Train whistles in the distance
I think I can sleep
Nestled under wraps
Quiet light traces windows
I woke to Spring warmth
summer afternoon
tree and pond on lonely field
sky like baldachin
Traveler's nightmare
Moose walking onto the road
In the still of night
Fish swim through foundries
finally silent beneath
the rising waters
Cherry blossom floats
Choking the stream to stillness
Spring suicide pact
Time to meditate
Imagining the silence
My nose has an itch
Forgotten teddy
Sits lonely on a bookshelf
Until thunder booms
Raindrops dimple ponds
Croaking frogs disturb silence
Night exhales morning
big fat snowflakes fall
silently to the pavement -
a streetlamp flickers
porridge in the pot
coffee in the silent mill
emptiness abounds
You are with me now,
Spring. How long I have waited
to embrace your warmth.
Blossoms, butterflies.
Sharing time, space, and sunshine.
Peacefully silent.
An Osprey Feather
Gliding Above Silent Dunes
Freedom on the Wind
Winter still hangs on
Flowers bloom and quickly die
Confused birds take flight
as I near the pond
the turtle head submerges
sky on still water
pre-dawn solitude
in abandoned parking lot
idling Uber car
Mind's secluded place
Questioning reality
Abandoned, alone
