Silent

Not all deserts are wastelands.  
Not all deserts are dry.  
Not all deserts are visible. 
Not all bird songs can be heard.  
Not all humans sing to be heard. 
And yet, here we are , 
The birds, and I,
Singing in the desert, 
Invisible and silent.

Hunger

.
.
A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Gentle Call

.
.
Small Bird, in the woods,
Is calling “Twit-too-too-weet”;
My pain drains away.

Home

.
.
Against the sunset,
Wing-ed ones are flying east.
I turn, seeking home.

I Walk In Blue Mist

.
.
Morning is thick, dense.
Hidden birds are not calling
I walk in blue mist.

Night Chill

.
.
Dreams wait in darkness.
The half moon illuminates
Clouds while an owl calls.

Storm Leaving

.
.
The lightning’s last
Bright flash revealed a small bird
Sleeping in darkness.

Little Ones – Haiku

.

.
Movement almost seen,
Leaves shiver in low bushes,
There are tiny tracks.

Crow Stories

.
.
Those crows have returned,
Laughing and telling stories
I don’t understand.

Three Crows Laughed

.
.
Three Crows sat laughing.
Heads cocked, they eyed each other.
Then they flew away.
