Heavy eyelids close
Days of chaos end in peace
Breath heaves in stillness.

Gone is the silence
Deafening in its volume
Sleep comes easily.

A reason to live
Evolution of the soul.
Learning the lessons.

What lesson was there,
In that hard situation?
Dig deep, find answers.

Our finest teachers
Teach us the hardest lessons
Universal truths.

Finally rain falls

First time in over two months

Parched lawns rejoicing

It’s quiet out here
A tropical afternoon
Me and the geckos.

Only a zephyr
Sways leaves of the banyan tree
A palm tree seeks light.

Geckos have playground
From one tree to the other
Afternoon delight

Picture taken by myself this afternoon

Watching gold sunrise

Hidden in sister’s garden

Morning breeze caresses.

Picture taken by myself this morning

The sun rises, falls

Day dawns with chill in the air

Ends with balmy breeze.

There were days I died
My heart cracked, my breathing slowed
The joy sucked clean out.

I found a village
Full of warm sun, warm people
Soothed my withered soul.

Old aches healed over
Cracks in my heart filled with gold
Where the light came in

Haiku by Deborah E. Dayen

A free heart singing

Ancient songs from deep within

A deep breath expands
