Deep Words and Epiphanies: Haikus and Word Magic

Desert gratitude,

lingering clouds on the slopes

rain gave us reprieve.

Early evening

time to ponder and reflect

the new book to read.

Patience for rainfall

late Fall miracle in green

colors reward us!

Oh, tropical fruits

heavenly delight, so sweet,

cornucopia!

Amidst old lava

sprang up so much life and love

ancient lichen too.

Enigmatic rocks

mute signals in the black sand

the waves are reading.

Wave riders gushing

watery blizzard on rocks

ocean spectacle!

Floor geometry

black and white in commotion

is there a way out?

Light and rain atop

roots draw all the nutrients

life is harmony.

Waves crashing on rocks

birds chirping all around us

monster leaves afoot.

Green building structure

veins mark the flow of water

tropical forest.

Every creature

exists purposefully, true

some defy the law.

Pacific rainfall

cold wind from the mountain tops

snow in sub-tropics.

Cold rains soak the land

the Catalinas greet them

we shiver with joy.

Saguaros bloom

when the summer sun heats up

I gaze and marvel.

Hard rusting chain links

reminders of past glory

delight for my eyes.

Devastation, so?

disruption of the cycle

volcanic moments.

Behind mother death

rests the cycle of all life

golden fern and black lava.

Life,
