when joy enters you
a thousand clouds cannot stop
the sun in your heart
***
today is friday.
our day to part the clouds between us
and reside firmly in the warmth of friendship.
here in the mountains of northern arizona
it is dark, cold and raining.
as the temperatures drop the rain will turn once more to snow.
as each of you arrives i will place another log on the fire
and together we will know
the sun in our hearts.
welcome home lovers of small words
to know you is a deep residing
joy.

The sun is there, always. Sometimes behind the clouds, but steady and true. A burning in my heart. Like minds today methinks, at least in some respects.
Much Peace

I love that you will be adding another log to the fire as your friends come to share their Haikus today. We're hunkering down for another storm here, but the bourgeoning spring is well underway, regardless!

That is so true about joy. May we all have the sun in our hearts always. Here's to warmth in the midst of the cold.

I was making a list of the good of winter...acting as if I didn't care if spring comes or not...
Ha ha! you can't use reverse-psychology on Mother Nature.
Beautiful words Rebecca, stay snug♥♥

The clouds have been hovering over my heart all week. They finally started to scatter this morning. Joy may not reside here quite yet, but relief does.

Your words are lovely and thoughtful. Your picture is like fire in the sky, like the fire in your heart, burning for all of us. That is so beautiful and unselfish about you.
