January 2012 – Lives respond to thunder

Upon taking a hike

Quiet forest grove
Important sole audience
The love of my life.
Hike #1 - Spring Lake 010112-08
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/02/12

Green ferns and brown leaves
Wet still with morning fog drops
Quiet so quiet
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/02/12

Power from above
The abyssal mercy of God
In you (me) here and now
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

Wine flows out soothing
Like teardrops that need to flow
Some days are like that
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

She had to observe
I see you’ve stolen my pen
The haiku master
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/11/12

13,000th Flickr Picture
Revelations of
Vaguely remembered things
Flit across the mind
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Quiet but busy
Time examining others
While writing my own
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Plaque from an award
Dripping with irony but
Drops dry out with time
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Clouds
Question of the Day: How can you tell if a cloud is upside down?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/12/12

Hike #3 - Spring Lake 010712-02
I hope the sun warms
Your day and your loving heart
It shines on us both
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/13/12

Oh, evening star
Western symbol of beauty
Simple joy of life
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/16/12

Respond to thunder
A deep roar in the distance
Lions on the move

A deep roar in the night
Lives respond to thunder
Nature calls to them
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/18/12

Shadow man sitting
Reflecting of life’s quiet
Straight anomalies
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/20/12

Sit in the quiet
Until cats interrupt you
Meditation space?
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/24/12

Curse progenerates
Blessings upon these others
Energy redeemed
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

The changing of day
Every day looking upon
The world from on high
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

All our days living
Are not spent, rather borrowed,
Time only used once
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/26/12

Be as a brush held
In the hand of the Creator
to create art in the world.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/27/12

Kindness of a child
An offering of goodness
A simple package
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 01/27/12

He’s writing today
Then he’s riding somewhere too
Then writing again
