Sedoka 1

should i e'er let go
would i care to reach out again
would i dare to reach out again

should i dare let go
could i care to reach out again
could i ever reach out again

Haiku 4

springs' gentle breezes
stir hearts to dally and then
chuck at aspen leaves

Haiku 3

eternal echoes
tearing world after world
unforgivingly

Haiku 2

the onions' layers
or perhaps the books' pages
exemplify life

Haiku 1

unimpeachable
clarity of vision is
my goal for today

My Psalm

One who cares deeply
     has asked me to pray.
I count it as privilege
     to do so today.

This weeks list is long,
     prayers for many in need
of His blessings in life,
     some hang by a reed.

Hey! God! It's me
     You've not spoken to,
of things that I see
     You're not tending to.

His way's not been mine
     yet I'm sure that He's pained
to see so much sorrow,
     lives brutally strained.

Oh I wish He would answer
     each prayer in its turn,
but eye-to-eye vision
     I have yet to learn.

Some People Do

Some people do, you know,
spend entire lives together,
having learned to speak directly
into anothers' heart
in the language of dreams
that transcend realities,
to rise above the doubts of waking.
