We

Bright ray of sunlight/illuminates winter path./This is your sweet smile

Buds spring from cold dirt/joyous tidings of springtime./This is your keen mind

Wind in the branches/herald of sweet summer rain./This is your loud laugh

Autumn mountain brooks/softly carry stones to sea./These are your kind hands

You are the seasons/I am ground beneath your feet/We are always new

I love you

Haiku - Dawn's Beginning

dewy grass glistens
as the morning sun rises,
bird song greets the day.

Haiku - A Winter Blast

a harsh, bitter wind
blows across a frozen field,
a rabbit shivers.

Back and forth, I go
I don’t have a rocking chair
