A Night Of Song

Keys pressed in the night

Joyful sounds enchanting me

As a cold wind moves

Autumn’s End Nears

Still upon the tree
A feast for the passing birds
Nearing autumn’s end

I found the apples on these neglected trees to be haunting, ghost like. Sustaining the birds as the weather turns cruel.

A Walk Along The River

Along the river
My feet move through the sunlight
Serenity speaks

A Rainy Night Haiku

Wind blows in darkness
Rain forces it’s way downward
Flowing over leaves


It’s a #rainy night in #Seattle.

A Christmas Tradition

A tradition renewed

Every year it is the same

And it’s different

In this night’s quiet
Siren’s call carries quite far
Winter’s night prayer

Sound carries far on the cold, late autumn night.

Beauty in the Night: Today’s Haiku

Nighttime had fallen
The beauty in the darkness
Lights shining brightly

I wish each of you a peaceful and restful night. My the bright spots shining in the night inspire you, and warm your hearts.

Tonight’s Haiku: Breaking Focus, Seeing Autumn

Focusing forwards
Sunlight grabs my attention
And I see fall’s leaves

It’s so easy to get lost in my thoughts. A little flare of sunlight caught my gaze, broke the focus, and I was able to see autumn’s glory right next to me.

An Autumn Afternoon Walk

Walking in the sun

Before winter’s rage arrives

A tranquil respite

A Trip To Whidbey Island: A Haiku

A morning journey 

Off to the nearby island 

With people I love 

Spent the morning over in Whidbey Island watching a cross country regional competition. I’ve known many of these kids their whole lives, so there a certain poignancy.
