Cycle of the Elements

Flame purifies death

Their renewal returns to earth

To be whole again

Earth stirs dull ashes

Nurturing deep delving roots

As growth leaps to life

Air caresses warmth

Banishing sleeping green cocoons

Buds burst sweet spring birth

Water bathes old scars

Washing pain from hidden nooks

Cleansing gentle drops

The elements live

As death completes rebirth

Endlessly unique

Whether or Not

Closet door open

deciding whether or not

boots gloves cap needed.

Rain changing to ice

temperature by degrees

falling oh so slight.

God’s grand confetti

snowflakes each uniquely made

around specks of dust.

Dolphins

Dolphins leap with grace,

Their songs fill the ocean air,

Calm, joy they come with.

canopy bird.

A lively forest

Sweet symphonies paint the air

Smooth trills and loud flares

Wild weaves embedded

Amid a stitch of creatures

Massive and midget

Upon a gnarled twig

Hanging on the canopy

Singing melodies

Stormy Salvation

Peace comes with the fog,

Settles my heart in my chest,

With its milky bliss.

Sunshine is my smile,

When heaven growls with thunder,

Matching my anger.

When the rain pours down,

The storm in me subsides some,

The tears I held, fall.

Chocolate chip

Sweet aroma rises,

Cocoa beans blended to perfection,

Heaven in a bite.

The Cycle

Howling at the door

Moaning harsh among the eaves

Hurricane winds fly

Torrential downpours

Flood the mighty works of men

Gray clouds weep and cry

Rainbow signals change

Sunshine and green grass prevail

Under a blue sky

Weather Haiku

Soft snowfall blankets

cocoons of icy feather's

cold burns as a flame

Dry wind from the west

Midwinter's warmth and wild zest

Malaise strikes, a pest

gentle rain patter

on budding pale tree branches

heals deep winter scars

heat shimmers, dancing

mirage of drenching, quenching,

artesian springs

crisp morning frost

white gilding on grass's froth

glimmers of bounty wrought

Wilderness

His bear trap silence

Her howls of exquisite pain

Limb gnawing ensues
