We Chalk-Marks

I took this sunset picture from my balcony tonight. Many thoughts went through my mind today, including our indelible drive as Americans to keep pressing on. These contrails from airpanes that had passed inspired me. I hope they inspire you.

Submitted to ABC Wedesday for the letter I, which means INDELIBLE to me today. Despite the Impermanence of these contrails, they bring Inspiration.

 

We chalk-marks cross the
Bluest skies, we gleam, dissolve
Leave pretty trails.

A Man In White Briefs

A man in white briefs
grills his mid-day meal in
nothing else but socks!

We Two Butterflies

We two butterflies

flit together sun-bright wings

sustained by nectar!

i mourn

Submitted to Haiku-Heights' haiku-a-day April challenge. I hope to join in often. Today's prompt is "possible."

i mourn the loss of

not just you but all the

possibilities

The Letter J

It's been forever since i've popped out to see my friends at ABC Wednesday, who celebrate a new letter each week. i've been through a lot this past year, which has brought me closer to God. Prayer can bring great comfort, especially at the times you feel there's nothing else you can do.

this isn't a religious site (obviously!) but i still want to share what J means to me. : )

i've gotten closer
to simply rest in Jesus
and patiently wait

Hard Work

 Hard work for aging

eyes to pluck the strands our

unravelling fate

Written for Haiku-Heights and the prompt of "fate." This turned out differently than I thought (a bit more morbid), though I like how it feels to have layers of meaning. Enjoy.

You Are Just...

You are just like a 

cigarette fun hot to hold

bad for my insides.
