let loose each dark care
be nothing but all you are
delivering light
***
i went to sleep to the sound of sunflowers
shaking in the breeze
and woke to the white heart of a thousand wings
carrying a garment of sunrise
above the open ponds.
does it lift your heart knowing we will meet
in a flurry of words
at sunrise
as it does mine?
thank you for returning to
and
to share your beautiful
jubilant
light.

I have been watching the roses "fry" in a 4 day 100 degree heat wave!
But even that as a good side!
I love seeing the light!!

I have the same feeling when I wake up on Friday Rebecca... your haiku and photo are fabulous. My day could not start any better!

This haiku shimmered in my heart today, Rebecca. I had a tough week where I found myself in a very blue corner...Feeling my light coming back to the surface. Thank you for this reminder, my friend. Happy Days ((HUGS))

Yes, indeed it does. Thoughts of "What day of the week is this?", and "Do I need to start thinking about my haiku for Friday? pop into my head.
If you would have told me I'd be writing poetry at all, let alone almost every week, I'd have called you crazy not that long ago.
I woke up naturally, at 4 AM, and headed straight for the computer to finish my post. When I see who has already been here to post I get excited. On those days when you, sweet Rebecca, have not posted the Friday Haiku My Heart header and link, I wait, impatiently, tapping my foot, returning back to your blog at brief intervals to see if I can add my link to the tumbler.
It is a fine day, Friday, if for no other reason, than be it this reason.
Peace

We are deliverers of light--fancy that!

Friday, is it Friday? Yes! Words flutter all around us like the seeds of your love that we plant each week in this fertile soil of recuerda mi corazon... Weaving dreams, thoughts, hopes, cares, the shedding of much, all encompassing songs, a refuge for the heart. XO

I thought of how we sometimes don't see the light for awhile, but eventually it returns anew. The butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, after a period of darkness, and comes back into the world's light.

Thank you rebacca for a new week of haiku My Heart. I have interpreted your given theme with a haiku about Holy Isle, a Buddhist retreat centre on a Isle at the West Coast of Scotland. Thank you for hosting another Haiku My Heart

I love your haiku - it really resonated with me with its powerful positive message. And with that stunning photo it would make a wonderful poster/card/bookmark gift - an inspirational reminder.
I must start joining in with this challenge & start writing haiku again.
Beautiful post
Kat :-)

Be all you can be. One of the best messages we can give our children.
I'm haiku dry today and doing some longer writing at the moment. I'll be back.
Posted by: annie | August 04, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Thank you for your heart-lifting haiku. I'd like to link-in, but can't find Mr Linky. Something more high-tech is happening with that Linky.
I'll try again soon.
