Opening the door I lean
to smell the subtle trail of spring
it is the time of violet night
of fading monochrome
when the other half of my heart
beats in echo time
slipping through the layers
of descending dark
to leave its kiss

Haiku for a spring Friday
The rain has borne fruit
green retakes us overnight
color close behind
Haiku for a windy Friday
bird wing cloud flies
to welcome returning birds
lilac buds are green
Haiku for a spring Monday
tree crowns washed by sun
dawn’s point of gleam inching right
buds are not ready
Haiku for Saturday morning
I stand in cool green
heart raging against evil
a prayer rises up

Haiku for Monday morning
the green wall is back
trees working hard through the night
birds seek their shelter
Soul tending
This seems the time
to tend one’s soul,
not just resolve
but looking out
and seeing in,
as dark recedes
and light is growing
in the mind
and to the eye
Why does the spirit
need a reset?
Dug, then redug
like a garden,
soil turned up
to meet the light
The answer lies in
life’s renewal
making fertile
that inside us,
ready to be open
and receive
the heady rush
of spring
