waking up refreshed-
some gentle yoga stretches
a simple meditation
—–
promises held in
summer early morning mist-
unhurried shower
.
sweet orange scented bubbles
this day is mine forever

haiku and tanka

a five pointed star
or an eight spoked wheel
the yin and the yang
praying hands of namaste-
sit neatly in a circle

The willow she sings dozy dotes
and diddly dum the ivy
alder buckthorn waves her arms
the bracken slowly bows.
The pale pink rose buds her head
lavender quivers with glee
buddlea curtsies, bumble bees hum
the gate swings to and fro.
The garden spider spins her web
and circles left and right
butterflies gently clap their wings
and round we go again.

are leaf lines life lines
of pereniality~
it’s Monday again

(Haiku)
Moon change.
I could walk forever this promenade
waves of sand across the beach
the sea hugging the horizon
full of promise
waiting for the moon
to change the tide.
I could walk forever in seasoned air
wavelets teasing sun dried sand
the sea singing it’s lullaby
of stars and rest
waiting for the moon
to change the time.

wrap around perfume
encircling solitude~
summer lavender
free my mind from mundane stuff
let me dance in life’s circle

space in the garden
just some summer mindfulness~
someone washes up

Walk in quietness
listen to your conciousness
there’s light beyond the weeping.

Japanese form Katauta.
by the garden shed
the rowan changes season-
my legs grow weary
