haiku my heart

 

 

conversing with stars

pines lift the edge of heaven

prayers slip through like clouds

 

 

we are still here breathing the last sighs of summer. 

each night we add another blanket on our dreams,

as the last details of our waiting lives slip away.

the lake is a glass bowl filling with the song of loons while lilies blooms and

wane in the shimmering light.

i sit within the blue grey cabin, at the

 sunbright table collecting the voices of family

like so many wild flowers,

 a screen door that marks the years with a familiar nod, and a blazing fire

announcing the arrival of fall.

 

please, haiku my heart.

oh your words are like a breath of fresh cool air amid this hot Texas summer day!! Enjoy every final breath of that delicious lakeside paradise!

I love this word-picture of your time at the lake cabin. I hope your soul is being refreshed day by day. Blessings to you!

Magical haiku and image...

[Leslie]

Yes, prayers do slip through in places, in moments like this. Lovely.

So sorry we didn't connect. I was close by, but it just didn't work out this time. I know you were in some cool temps on Sunday morning, did you get the rain Saturday night?
Your words tell the story very nicely. They are of the peace and natural feel of the Northland, probably what drew me to live up here in 1974 when I left my childhood home.

Peace and thoughts for safe travel.

I love the idea of prayers slipping through places, like those thin, ethereal clouds. Beautiful haiku, Rebecca!

[Uma]

So beautifully written Rebecca, love the last two lines: purely divine.

[Deann]

so beautiful - peaceful - and spiritual. Living near a big city, the night sky is muddied with artificial light. Your picture makes me long for my native Texas.

[tami]

how beautiful - magical - ahhhhh.

[Ms. Moon]

I hope your entire week has been this gorgeous.

[jean]

honestly, you and i must be on the same wave...your image and haiku lines are magical...we are on the slippery, summer edge...hope you have a wonderful weekend..

[Jeannie]

At the request of Ms. Moon, I have linked here. Please forgive my title variation and lack of beautiful imagery as I meant it to be fun and not a sign of disrespect - and also why I hadn't intended to actually link up.

[abi monroe]

I made it :O)

[Deborah]

So so SO beautiful - both image and verse sing to my soul. Thank you.

beautiful haiku .... I, too, am adding blankets to my dreams nightly .... no fire in the fireplace as of yet though.

Rebecca,
What a rich and delicate haiku, silken and numinous in its depth and presence. The photo is so full of light and so heart opening. Just looking at it and thinking of you with family by a lake brings such a wealth of images to mind. Lovely, so lovely. Thank you for always being so generous with your poetic voice.
Warmly,
Noelle

Beautiful haiku...and inspirational, too! I posted a little something on my blog as well, not as beautiful (or inspirational) but a 17-syllable poem nevertheless. ;)

[Meri]

I just wanted you to know (however belatedly) that I have shared your words with others because they are unabashedly beautiful. As always.

[Leo]

[martha brown]
