Nature haikus
Down from the heavens
The tears of the angels fall
Raining over us.
The trees start to sing
As the wind floats through the leaves
Bea-u-ti-fu-lly.
A baby bird cries
It having been left behind
Its mother long gone.
The sun slipping down
The sky painted shades of pink
As light fades away.
The white foam rises
As the waves crash over rocks
The storm rages on.
The tears of the angels fall
Raining over us.
The trees start to sing
As the wind floats through the leaves
Bea-u-ti-fu-lly.
A baby bird cries
It having been left behind
Its mother long gone.
The sun slipping down
The sky painted shades of pink
As light fades away.
The white foam rises
As the waves crash over rocks
The storm rages on.
Humanity: A Single Grain of Sand
(Five Haikus)
Sunlight reflecting
From the ocean of her eyes
Reminds me of stone.
The stone has no face,
But it sparkles the language
Of the universe.
The universe says,
"You're collectively one grain
Of colorless sand."
The sand forms beaches
Of history, and makes love
To the vast ocean.
The ocean knows all.
Your eyes tell time's full story.
They know the language.

Of history, and makes love
To the vast ocean.
The ocean knows all.
Your eyes tell time's full story.
They know the language.

world waterfalls weep; raindrops
falling on my head

a microburst wrath
tsunamis all in its path;

in the Amazon
forest, my soul runs profound;
New York in the night
