haiku my heart fragile

 

tiny fragile cups

rays of light that reach the heart

pink dizzy with bees

 

 

here in the southwest

 forsythia stretches her yellow arms

around the sleepy hillsides.

daffodils nod in the breeze as iris cast purple

into the flowering mix of

 springs first curtsy.

you lie in wait for their arrival

and it is a shared sigh of relief

when they appear.

but when the manzanita blooms;

it's like stumbling on a prayer

whispered to the wind.

such tiny blossoms could easily be missed-

but there are thousands of them 

and together

filled with the drone of bees

something so fragile,

so fragrant, so filled with light

awakens miracles.

haiku my heart

 

small words swimming 

in the light

This is oh so beautiful Rebecca! How I love the manzanita, and these tiny pink cups fill my soul with such delight! Add to that the drone of bees, and I want to stretch out beneath and slip into the world of dreams and hope and the magic and miracle of such beauty! XOXOXOXO

My world is filled with light blue and the flutter of many hearts.

I love the idea of dizzy bees. Drunk on the fresh spring nectar and pollen. Makes me dizzy just thinking about it...oh no, that is just my allergies kicking in. ;)

It's good to be back, sharing tiny poems with everyone. Have a great weekend, as you contemplate the colors and light of Rebecca's haiku.

On Rebecca, your photo, your writing, bless us all.

Manzanita is one of my favorites. From the red bark, pink flowers in spring to the silver gray bark of an older plant. BEAUTIFUL.

Rebecca, your blogposts are so beautiful and the photos with it are so perfect. Your writings would make a special book. Really, you should! In this post, you make the southwest sound so wonderful and special. Of course, it is. xo
