haiku my heart believe

 

 in her scarlet cloak

graceful in letting go dreams

trust, i'll meet you there

 

 

 

 

"Autumn , in her scarlet cloak,

comes tumbling down the hills,

Oh, she is tipsy with her dreams

that the blue day distills,

an amber cup is in her hands

from which the wonder spills

now leaf and vine turn golden brown,

and purple asters shine

along the roads where autumn runs,

drunken with mystic wine

the world is one vast tapestry

of intricate design."

this photograph arrive in my mailbox,

a love offering from a dear friend i have never met.

she does not blog, but somehow found mine.

she does not comment,

but writes to me personally.

today she sent a favorite poem.

some days she lights candles for me,

includes me in her prayers.

 

that is the way

love finds its home,

shares the light

and holds one even without holding.

there are so many of us 

who share this same story.

 

knowing this.

that we find each other.

that we hold and lift each other up

beyond time and space

without needing to know the contours of the others face,

multiplies trust to the millionth degree.

trust.

the way autumn dresses up to let go

and gives us grace over and over;

believe.

thank you for brightening my moment.

I'm glad to meet with you, Rebecca, and everyone else here in this sacred space this early autumn morning.

Can there be anything more necessary than letting go? May all of us learn to do it gracefully. Happy Haiku My Heart to all!

We carry multitudes within and without. Love your haiku and the supportive interweb-world you have created here.

Oh my, how I love those words: "the way autumn dresses up to let go". Such a necessary step this time of year and yet I struggle against it each September. Thank goodness for the colours of this season that dazzle us with their intensity. This Towne poem is perfection!

so beautiful...the image, the poem, the story of how it came to be. We are connected in oh so many wonderful ways.

your friend's photo is stunning! in spite of so-called addictions regarding the internet, this touching story demonstrates the best part of the internet, connecting people who might never have that opportunity. thank you for being you, Rebecca, and for touching others' lives in such a meaninful way.

my Webroot program has been popping up with a danger message on Carol's "A Creative Harbor". Have you encountered that with her site?

Happy to be holding on to you my love as we float along in the golden light of autumn once again....x

what a beautiful gift from your friend… this is a big part of the beauty and blessing of the internet in my experience as well Rebecca… I am constantly reminded that there is more goodness, more kindness and compassion than anything else in the world… listening to the news this is easy to forget.. but real people are mostly generous and loving.
