how they hold the light
bright wings swimming in honey
silhouettes of joy
***
somewhere outside my dark dreaming
the birds begin.
layering the promise of each china blue morning
with their great feathering of hope.
and i lay here
in this bright unfastening as everyone
i have ever known
becomes a star in the lightening sky.
while haiku brings us together,
it is the time taken to visit and leave a kind word
that truly gives us a sense of belonging.
to fully experience the power of connecting i encourage you to
visit each participant and leave a word of
acknowledgement along the way.

Swimming in honey sounds like such a sweet thing to do. May I join you? ;)

I'd like to touch those wings and lick my fingers.

If I hold the Light, will I swim in honey and joy?

Knowing how hard it is to get a good photo of birds in flight makes me appreciate this one even more. So glad to be a star in your sky!

"somewhere outside my dark dreaming

layering the promise of each china blue morning

Birds have been winging around me this week as well. I am off to buy a new bird feeder as the colder temps leave less for my friends to munch on. Their songs are so sweet.
Sending you love and light on wings, lovely One !

the image of the birds is surreal! I have never encountered birds in that number so magically lit!
blessings, Nonnie

It seems your birds, capturing that wonderful light, have captured my spirit as well. I am uplifted by your words and your glowing spirit! Thank you.

Hi Rebecca. This is an awesome haiku and love love love the photo of the birds. I am one with IE10, which worked until 2 weeks ago, so rather than d/l another I'll wait til they fix it. But I'll still visit you and the others. Again, this was beaufiful!
