haiku my heart

 

Maggie Taylor

 

more to you than yesterday 

wrapped in endless ancient grace

one flower blossoms

 

 

 

“When you start to feel like things should have been better this year,

remember the mountains and valleys that got you here

They are not accidents, and those moments weren't in vain.

You are not the same.

You have grown and you are growing.

You are breathing,

you are living,

you are wrapped in endless,

boundless grace.

And things will get better.

There is more to you than yesterday.”

― Morgan Harper Nichols

 

dear friends,

i use to believe if i loved fiercely enough

i could protect my loved ones, i could change a dark tide to light.

the crushing reality is

i can't even protect myself.

the one hundred sorrows we bear up to in

daily life as we know it today

is heart crushing.

and when you live your life connected to all of

humankind and this beautiful earth we call home-

what is the weight of such accumulative sorrow?

the enormity of despair and suffering

has been heart crushing.

and truth be told part of mending

doesn't really heal our primal wounds,

it's more a triage of

tourniquets and bandages-

to keep our insides in.

 

may the strongest seeds of love

crack our hearts wide open.

may we all find a tender fragile

blossom of kindness

and extend it to each other.

i can attest to the power and healing of such offerings.

 

an unexpected

act of kindness extended so 

lovingly my way

helped me 

to be here today.

XO

haiku my heart

Catrin Welzstein

 

 

"I was in love with the whole world

and all that lived

in its rainy arms."

 

Louise Erdrich

 

spring awaits us all

verdant arms blossoming hearts

i fall to my knees

 

friends,

i am sure spring awaits us all

with a heart of blossoming

and verdant arms.

 

thank you for sharing your warmth

here in the haiku circle.

some days are for lighting the hearts of others,

reassuring, holding another up.

then comes our day

when we are split open,

on our knees 

struggling to navigate the weight of life.

the last few days

i have fallen hard

into a deep and personal despair.

thank you for this

friday gathering

this chance to believe again

we are never alone.

haiku my heart

 

Paloma Dominguez

embroidered heart

 

 

like a cactus tree

beauty shatters me daily

swimming in the light

 

 

allow beauty to shatter you regularly.

the loveliest people

are the ones who have been burnt and broken

and torn at the seams,

yet still send their open hearts into the world to mend again,

again and again, and again.

haiku my heart

 

 

tiny holy buds

dreaming just below the ice

longing for the sun

 

 

paring down our winter hearts

 hungry for spring

 morning ponds just outside the window

 cast a frozen still life

until the sun and one hundred waterbirds

rake this frozen slate of morning

into a shimmering

faceted dance of perfect light

suddenly

everything changes....

sometimes you turn around and hardly

recognize yourself in the passing mirror

all the more reason to move in kindness

choose with compassion

be a part of something 

larger than

longing.

 

 

 haiku my heart

 

it's been a long lonely winter and people everywhere

are hungry for light.

XO
