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
These Haikus are incredibly
These Haikus are incredibly beautiful. You should be very proud of them.
