Onoma

Western frontiers

bite early, arisen

colors on the Northeast.

(film development).

a landscape drawn out

flawlessly.

as the Atlantic chants thru

the summit meeting of trees--

baring antlers.

whistling a clap after they're

blown thru.

Enduring Smile

Enduring smile blossoms,
Pain's grip loosens, disappears,
Joy fills every breath.

On love

the delight of love:
the pain you cannot surrender
in exchange for forever

"to know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love."
- Gibran

what keeps me going

it is easy to know the despicability of living,
and a surprise to see the kindness when it comes.

meeting and talking to strangers and being surprised that despite our differences, kindness transcends everything

waltz of flowers Haiku

sunlight's strung the bow,
and the kiss of the wind strikes
the waltz of flowers.

la lumiere du soleil met des cordes au arc,
et le bisou du vent touche
la valse des fleurs.

Reflections

The myth of what is real -
I want to know the truth.

Does the winding river feel,
does the tree speak of its youth?

cynical senryu

passion is a flame,
the body is just an urn.
let your soul be free

inspired by Khoisan's several senryu
