Haiku – holy desire

You burn within me

like a fire that would not die –

purifying love.

Haiku – Dawn

Dawn softly appears

I watch in grateful silence

and whisper, “thank you!”

Dreaming of dawn in my island home in Iloilo, Philippines.

Haiku of Trust

In stillness I sit

like an open, empty cup –

waiting to be filled.

Haiku for the Day

I saw a bouquet

of flowers huddled like friends

sharing a secret.

Haiku for the Day

I saw a bouquet

of flowers huddled like friends

sharing a secret.

Haiku for the Day

The will of rivers

is like a prayer of faith

seeking for answers.

Haiku for the Day

Cardinals persist

to love only one partner –

faithful to the end.

Haiku for the Day

Streams of water flow –

I observe and meditate,

praying with my heart.

Dance

You and me.

We.

Together.

Let us dance while the storm is raging

Even if we step on each other’s toes, let us keep looking

into each other’s eyes.

Let us feel the beat in our hearts,

that rhythm of love that won’t give up

the music of memories that holds us up

unbowed

unfazed

by the gloom.

Haiku for the Day

Eagles spread their wings

soaring, gliding, way up high –

unfazed by the sun.
