A Day In The Mountains

Winter’s afternoon
Watching these clouds move through firs
Such grace filled motion

Out east of Bellingham, near the town of Deming, we journeyed to the Nooksack river to see eagles. Around twenty bald and golden eagles sat among the trees. Seagulls fought for the scraps.

A haiku at the end of a busy day

A busy day ends
I find it hard to focus
This winter evening

A haiku at the end of this busy day. Family after church, this period where birthdays intersect with major holidays.

Suburban Night 

Suburban silence 

Raindrops rattling my roof 

The beauty of home 

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.
