clusters of dark and light clouds

gray covered sky
above slumbering trees…
autumn mood

One Hundred Seventieth Haiku

crippling angor
through volcanic burns
head on fire

above wasteland
swarming birds in sky
black smoke billows

One Hundred Sixty-Ninth Haiku

large drops of water
rainy season at the doors
puddles all over

splenetic outbursts
atmosphere of battle ground
―nostalgic longing

COMPANIONSHIP

I longed for companionship
From early childhood on.
Throughout the years
It passed me by
Like vanishing clouds.
And then it came to me
In an unexpected way,
I found it quietly
In my presence,
I found it
Right in myself.

stage of koi fish,
diversity

kites in sky
intertwine while ascending,
heaven’s hugs

PASSAGE

When life passes by us
Don’t become discouraged
Know this life is just
A passage of many
Which will carry us
To another journey…

DAYS

There are days
When stillness
Reigns my being

There are days
When my mind
Is engulfed in flames
Like sporadic wildfires

There are days
When thoughts
Are pouring out of me
Like water floods
During a hurricane

One Hundred Sixty-Sixth Haiku

midday nap
rest for aching bones
―spring chicken

blocked arteries
junk wall in sewer
mountains of waste
