come fill your cup
in the fire of autumn
take my hand, heart, prayer
simple gestures, quiet awakenings.
a tap on the shoulder of industrious life reminding
us to live deeply.
our haiku are much like this,
simple fleeting collections of words.
underneath, camaraderie, appreciation,
deep connection in the house of belonging.
thank you all for reaching out to each other
with visits, comments,
and kind regard.
come, please, haiku my heart....

I remember this image and how striking it is. I love the shadow and the red wall. So much symbolism here. I love that it is an angel's wing and that you speak of Autumn's fire rather than falling leaves or decay. Shadows are deeply powerful images. "take my hand, heart, prayer" Beautiful thought that. I will contemplate that tomorrow as I say one for you.
xoxox,

OMG Rebecca - what a wonderful image! It seems to me we're approaching a very meaningful time of the year for you, and many others.
Beautiful haiku - I am blessed to be a part of this group. xo

Oh, this haiku is delicious, simply delicious. Instead of a mere sip from the cup, may I have a deep draught, please? Ah, thank you!

I can use 'a wing around my shoulder' (and a guardian angel to accompany my son in this new phase too) so your photo really speaks to me today Rebecca! Thanks for bringing us all together every week!

Hold fast to my hand
Feel safe even in tumult
Wing protects and shield.
