Did he really think
The game would never be called?
Called, game misconduct.

Haiku No. 111: Punctuation
The night fell, drew cool.
Thunderstorms ushered it in.
Loud punctuation.
Haiku No. 110: Feeling the Pull
Everything I know
Is here, in these rolling hills.
My changes were here.
Everything I want
Is there, near the sea’s sweet scent.
The pull there is strong.
The journey’s been long.
I continue on the path
Happiness beckons.
Haiku No. 109: Dreams Come True (6 parts) (Essay at the bottom)
Tonight, white wine soothes
So many endings in sight
Much pain I’ve let go.
So many dreams, dreamed.
So much heartache is over
So much love, still there.
Red wine is too bold
Tonight, I seek the subtle.
Slow, easy movement.
Letting go, fully
Allowing in the pictures,
universal dreams.
Oh, life! Had I known
Years past, how easy it was
To make dreams come true.
What we dream in sleep
Can come true in waking hours.
Surrender, it’s yours.
This haiku set comes from the day. I undid a lie. If there’s an order to lies, from large to small, it was small. But if there’s no order to them, and I believe there’s not, it was just another lie. It was, in my opinion, a lie, just like all the other myriad of lies over the last year. I undid it, seeking just to stop it from cycling through my head. Over and over and over, like a 45 record with a scratch.
When I did that, my world immediately, if not sooner, opened up in the direction of my dreams. I received an offer on the house, a cash offer, rare in these parts, and when I countered today they accepted my counter. Soon I will be free of all of the triggers that make me remember and feel all the pain. Things which kept me tied to the past, in an unhealthy way. These things will cease to exist.
Avalon. The place of healing, of making new starts. Of new beginnings. 11, the portal to new energy. All these things matter to me. I’m going to Avalon, in two months. Since every thing else I have wanted has manifested, I am sure the things I dream about there will also.
Love and light……
Haiku No. 108: Contentment (3 parts)
Sunrise, flowers bloom
My heart is smiling, grateful.
The day dawns content.
The voice in my soul
Singing a song of freedom
It is as I dreamed.
Those I loved, I love.
Hoping their path brings them peace.
Always, and all ways.

Haiku No. 107: Disappearing Demons (4 parts)
You who I had loved
So passionately, have gone.
You left a piece here.
And you took a piece
With you, to hold in the dark
When demons creep ’round.
The piece you left me
Is a memory, held dear.
My demon was you.
But demons need dark.
I turn on the light, and watch
You become a man.

Haiku No. 106: A Flood
W
Joy seeps in the cracks
Flooding the heart with sunlight
Grateful each moment.

Haiku No. 105: Celebrating
The pink hibiscus opens
Each morning to greet the sun
Celebrates the day.

Haiku No. 104: Ebb and Flow (3 parts)
Floating on currents
Rudderless, I cannot point.
I lack direction.
Flood tide brings me in.
The ebb takes me far away
Landfall is a dream.
I cannot remain
In this forlorn little boat.
Better that I swim.

Haiku No. 102: To Be Whole Again (4 Parts)
Lies lies and more lies
Each creating it’s own grave
Full of bits of souls.
Pieces of the souls
broken off by lies believed,
Fill the holes with pain.
We walk through the fields
Search each and every grave,
Wanting our pieces back.
We gather pieces
That someone stole with a lie.
To be whole again.
Written by Deborah E. Dayen
The refrain in this song is “Maybe I’ll be whole again some day.” Thought it was appropriate.
