haiku my heart

 

the visitation

one heart gifted from the sky

bright altar of love

 

there is a place to stand

where you can see so many lights

you forget you are one of them.

small words swimming 

in the light

haiku my heart

 

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 mother love

 

 

 

to cultivate love

be a bridge with open arms

a garden of heart

 

  

  

my mother gave me courage and compassion

she gave me arms open and a heart to see

a world where we all live in the house of belonging

and wisdom worn so true it would stand in shelter 

to all the inevitable punches to the heart

 

she gave me a love of words 

a modest sensibility

the desire to cultivate a deep interior life

ease and comfort with needle and thread 

the grace of forgiveness

the ability to make something from nothing

a deep passion to live life fully, permission to dance on tables,

tenacity and a lot of grit.

 

she gave me patience

she taught me to care in small and extraordinary ways 

about the outcome of humanity

all stitched together with a white hot conviction

to live a life well lived.

 

haiku my heart

celebrating the motherlove within us all

haiku my heart

 

pollen falls like stars

far across the flower fields

knee deep in holy

 

on fridays we gather-

a wild collection of rogue flowers

sweetening the landscape of each others lives.

always willing to strip off the superfluous,

embrace the brightest essence of expression,

 visit each other with a

passion

and lie in wait for the next friday

to bloom all over again. 

haiku my heart

small words

swimming in the light.
