Haiku for Nancy

We are older, now,

Than a little while ago.

The days drift with grace.

End of November

Hickories have turned,
Against the no-color sky,
Bight lemon yellow.

October frogs sing.
Grandmother's face glows golden.
Longing reveals truth.

So Cold So Alone

Eats 
The Heart 
Has neared 
Completion
The laying 
A terrible bed
Not for rest 
Or refuge  
More terrible 
Than ever 
Imagined 
There is 
No way away 
I must repose 
In the
Bed that has 
Become as 
Burning 
Lies 
Coals lighting
A truth 
Of false 
Trust  
Belief in 
Kindness 
Spreads 
Choking smoke
Concealing 
The flames  
Words of love 
Flutter, soft 
And dark
As silken ashes
More fool 
Am I, to
Repose on 
Burning lies  
Soft coverlets
Of ashes 
Shadows 
On ashes 
Nightly words 
Written 
And sent
In bad faith. 
My hopeless 
Hope
Snugs 
Fiery emptiness 
Close
Morning will dawn 
Cold and true 
While 
Eats The Heart 
Pretends 
Drifting ashes 
And a bed 
Of coals 
Are the comfort
Hidden by
Blowing smoke

So Cold So Alone

Rain for Sleeping

Distant thunder rolls.
Wet trees glitter in moonlight,
While the soft rain falls.

Bright sun through droplets
Reveals a dazzling forest  
Of sparkling small trees.

Night Shadow

Thunder rolls 
I fade 
Into shadow 
Flowing 
Away in
Night rain 
Wrapped
In the scent 
Of exotic
White Flowers
Rolling thunder
Carries me 
I am heavy
Sorrowing
Grieving
An echo 
Growing distant
My whispers
Are rumbling 
Waves resonating 
Into flowing 
Night shadow

Eclipse

Red-orange darkness
Glows with mystery behind
Black silhouette trees.

Waiting

Planets out of line,
Away from their conjunction; 
There is no message.

Can There Be Once Was?

Moment
by moment
Light shifts
Flickers
Glows bright
Sparkles
Perceptions focus
Or recede
Pass through
An instant
Is forever
And then gone
Alone
Nothing here
Ever was
