Prayer Haiku

Still in bed, praying —

taking deep breaths, reflecting

on God’s faithfulness.

Snow Haiku

Soft, white cold icing

laying on bare tree branches –

newly-fallen snow.

Haiku for the Day

In the stillness, wait

and listen to the birds sing

songs of joy and mirth.

Three Haikus for the New Year

Haiku 1 –

I welcome today –

the first day of the new year,

thankful for God’s love.

Haiku 2

God’s love gives me hope –

to step out in faith and live

each day with courage.

Haiku 3

Courage to show up,

to keep on going with God

leading, every day.

Sunflower haiku

Golden orbs of light,

petals shining like sunbeams –

warm my weary heart.

Heart Haiku

My heart sees the world

full of darkness, pain and grief –

longing for healing.

Haiku – Walk

A new day has dawned,

My feet are awake, ready –

walk on holy ground.

Good Friday haiku

My grandma said, “hush,”

Today God is dead, be still –

Weep, lament and pray.

Heart Prayer

A haiku for the first day of National Poetry month

Streams of water flow
I watch in grateful silence,
praying with my heart.

Haiku – holy desire

You burn within me

like a fire that would not die –

purifying love.
