The brand new year is underway, days are lengthening, some people are making resolutions, some say no way. Snowy winter is with us. There’s just a hint of spring in the air. Here are some haiku in celebration of our lives and time.
rocking
in the cradle
of the moment

slowing my step
to match
earth’s leisurely rotation

make the bed
take the step
praise the day

shoelace
comes undone
her calm acceptance

offering
grace

the clarity
of blue summer
awakenings

tumult
of the public day
quietude of mind
___________________
relaxing
in the bliss
of self-acceptance
