Haikus

                

             Weathered Sentinel
             unabated vigilance
             until time is not

 

             Splendid is the earth
             hidden life resides
             strength unknown by man

 

             Why am I so sad
             if only I could be him
             I could reach my goals

 

             Island vacation
             why must I return to work?
             a small thorn of life

 

             Symmetry in life
             can never be forgotten,
             it is around us

 

             To walk all alone
             into peace and solitude,
             Thoreau thought it fine. (Wise)

 

             I can do all things
             if I can but do this one,
             I can rule the world

 

             Of the little things
             that grace the world we live in;
             flowers white and pure

 

             Calm, like ice crystals ,                  
             mid- winter experience,
             with rivers of glass

 

             Sentinels standing calm
             watching earths cycle of life,
             time renews all things

 

             Broad is the pathway
             That leads us to our future,
             Where to, we know not

 

             And God created
             The wonderful universe
             With colors galore

 

             Beyond the tree line,
             The home of forbidden fruit
             Dare I pass and touch

 

             All life is complex,
             We must move through it learning,
             Or fail in our quest

 

             Reaching skyward arms,
             In full defiance of the storm
             One last time I stand

 

            Pigeons joy reborn,
            When the bread of life is placed
            Society is torn

 

            Much is confusion,
            Much is asymmetrical
            But all life is beautiful

 

            All life is complex,
            We must move through it learning
             Or fail in our quest

 

             Beyond the tree line,
             The home of forbidden fruit
             Dare I pass and touch

 

             Now where did it go,
             I know it is here somewhere
             Patience will pay off

 

             Eternal patience,
             Known to be an awful boor
             Sustains a species

 

             Magnificent mount,
             Is but the footstool of GOD
             With a floor of glass

 

             As the earth sleeps on,
             Waiting the coming of springs
             With it I too wait

 

             In the beginning,
             The earth was without humans
             A preemptive void

 

             To live past our time,
             Is an offence to the now
             Go with dignity

 

             Pensive thoughts  unformed,
             At the finish of the day
             Until tomorrow

 

             The blessings of life
             Are too wonderful to speak,
             But beauty I feel

 

             How clear is our quest,
             For one mate is all we need
             Till death do us part

 

             Lone sentinel stands
             Attending eternity;
             To be so alone

 

             There’s no fear of harm
             When light is revealed to warn,
             Peace can come with dawn

 

             I see forever
             Now, if I can only live
             The future will come
