cry, life, people,
In faith, grace and love
Power of wild bulls and lions
Earthquake in Nepal
Death quake in Nepal
Villages totally destroyed
Heartbreaking pictures
Dead human bodies
Disaster unknown level
Earth continues shake
They need clean water
Under wings of an angel
My Lord, why is this ?
Caught in a drama
Hoping to find survivors
Screaming from the ruins
In grief and despair
They need shelter for the night
Prayer for the dead

The Fox:
1 the blare of the horn
snooty hooves of fire red coats...
panting for my life
2 briar rabbit ears
twisting in my angry grip...
more tall tales are told
3 a hen in my mouth
a farmer without his gun...
life can be so good
The Wolf:
1 silver sinews coil
full moon permits me to speak...
shivers for all men
2 my proud bloody coat
clings to young Navaho skin...
tales of my demise
3 the grind of tractors
growl grief to my amber eyes...
leave my land alone
The Coyote:
1 mangy vermin shriek
pelts darken with scarlet smear...
ranchers open fire
2 mere morsels to munch
lupine snap shears of warning...
always last in line
3 roy rodgers singing
cactus cattle and trail dust...
my chorus off key

death,
Death creeps quietly in
often taking by surprise
one last gasp of air
leaving behind pain
sadness, sorrow and such loss
emptiness of heart
days pass by in grief
each becomes full of torment
as one struggles on
no light just darkness
no end is yet to be found
time they say will heal
for them left behind
no peace, just grief smothering
icy heart with blackness

caregiving, faith, lossold, old,
The silent news spoke
Nothing of my grief, the fire
Came after the smoke
Children, grandchildren
Were'nt lollipops of the flames
Choking on prayers
The serpent's eyes red
Looked, and from our fortress fled
Staining just one room
With the ash of sin
Investment here of its doom
Without rain or tears
Throw the old things out
Burnt furniture, wet clothes scarred
With water and dirt
Human life is more
Than grief can measure in loss
This, yet we endure
Carol, dear, and John
Give Candice my love's regard
We shall build again
The phoenix in us
Resist the yearning in dust
To fracture our trust
We rise, and we rise
The spark above leaping fire
Death is love disguised,
The balm of the skies
We believe and do not need
The germ in the seed.
Let old visions die
Frail vanity now disposed
Fresh faith from it grows
For in this despair
Our safety meant God is here
Life is only grace.

change,
Evening descends
Running track overture;
Brisk walk abstract
~~~~~~~~~
Late night commute
Transit trains empty;
Small talk echoes
~~~~~~~~~
Brisk walk homewards
Wind follows footsteps;
Seeking company
~~~~~~~~~
Supper for dinner
Cold dishes now;
Busy delay
~~~~~~~~~
Old lady struggles
Bad knee joints;
Painful walk
~~~~~~~~~
Moonlight aura
Mystic blue streams;
Lovers serenade
~~~~~~~~~
Rainy weather
Indoor activity;
TV interlude
~~~~~~~~~
Afternoon siesta
Puzzling dream time;
Abrupt awakening
~~~~~~~~~
Britain opts exit
European Union crisis;
Latest news flash
~~~~~~~~~
Choices made
Winners and losers;
Consequences attend
~~~~~~~~~
Be quick now
Let grief be brief;
Exclusion clause
~~~~~~~~~

Don't know how to speak
To you get my point across
Calm & soft don't work
Maybe in the past
"Itching" & screaming got thru
To you now other
Ways are much too quiet
Perhaps you need to be slapped
A bit to get it
We're alike that way
Care not to be corrected
No matter the path
Disturbing to be
Wrong, off, bad, out of the loop
Don't like it one bit
If ugly screaming
Is what it takes I fear I'm
Not your gal at all
Help me to help you
Without any grief 'cause things
Change most everyday

O Father Of Mercy
Wash out this grief you shower
Over me and the land,
Ring out the spirit
And Saturday our love's weeks
Like light through locked twigs,
Beyond the puddled boy
Crying in vain for solace
Sung all about him
With worried weather,
Arise in your emptiness
Head-high like the sun.
Stars are for darkness.
May each night blanket blessings
Down Heart's corridor
And the floors of joy
Shift shapelessly through lives
Like mud on apples
In a woven dreamland,
Floating as God's single thought,
Making rich your harmony
As the cross flies off
And the Bible loads squirt guns
And "grace" replaces "debt"
Replaces tongue and
Speech in swirling compassion
Viewed from your own chair
You made from pictures
And lightbulbs and fake noses
And dusty open cheer
Up! The baby smiles
Your world of grief has shattered.
Light has pierced the dark.

Streamers of grief run
Fly free from innermost lands
Spawn of pain from man.

More God Horn Haiku
Maintained composure
And I always know for sure
My faith will endure.
Did hear in my dream
God always does reign supreme
And us will redeem.
After wrath and scorn
My new life was truly born
No more grief or morn.
(Especially Jim Horn)
God do bless my soul
And all that is within me
Praise His holy name.

anniversary, deep, muse, passion,
Relaxed sun today
painting the clouds with pleasure
It’s Tagore's birthday
From the red pink and
Crimson passion on faces
looks on the tall Bard
In my black and white
dust have come some handsome grass
Welcome Bard welcome
The wind in my room
Hums Tagore's songs in the chime
Our eyes meet in rhyme
Normally angry
Sun sprinkling colours today
Tagore looks lovely
He has taught us how
to weave the hues of grief and
joy in our poems
He has shown us how
To set off blue and red birds
from our chest in space
We in summer rain
from our blue quest of those birds
beautify our sky
Oranges today
In passionate expansion
Happy birthday Bard
