haiku: night light

the Ancient of Days breathed into the dark vastness and hung a night light

haiku: icing

glorious winter frosted branch and leaf, icing on fresh-baked cupcakes

haiku: long nights

winter candle glow lengthens the season’s short hours long nights and brief days

haiku: winter sky

winter morning sky pregnant with the day’s treasures unpacked hour by hour

haiku: kindling

just a baby born blessed is the kindling that sparked redemption’s great flame

haiku: season of hope

Pontormo’s “Visitation” -famous mothers, Elizabeth and Mary mothers carried seeds of change in their wombs, the whole world waited in hope

haiku: funeral dance

blown before the wind brittle brown leaves dancing at their own funeral dirge
