Thinking about ants
moving in and setting up house.
Free-loading tenants.

Haiku No. 27: The Keymaster
The door won’t open
Without a key. Who has it?
The keymaster grins.
Haiku No. 25: Rising
Coffee cup steaming
Rising, with the morning sun.
All good things in time.
Haiku No. 24: Was It?
His blue eyes were cold
When he broke my heart again.
The best he could do?
Haiku No. 23: In the Desert
Bored silly tonight
Thoughts scattered like tumbleweed
Across the desert.
Tired, too, just bone tired.
Wish I had a shoulder to
rest on, to count on.
My own is all I
have, the only one I can trust
Not to betray me.
Learning Lessons
And so, he was gone.
Gone with the morning breeze
Gone with the singing of the birds
Gone with the first sip of my coffee.
Where?
I do not know.
I didn’t see him leave.
I don’t even know the direction.
The space where he was
Is filled with the things that rushed into
the empty void.
It’s full now.
The void is no longer.
Lessons remain
That’s all.
A lesson of love,
A lesson of trust.
The universe does not allow a vacuum.
Where one thing leaves,
Another comes.
The endless cycles of life.
Haiku No. 22: Meditation
The space between the words
Is the place we find our soul.
Stillness is required.
Haiku No. 21: Fireflies
It’s a quiet night
Crickets serenade fireflies
Peace rolls up the hill.
Haiku No. 20: Elusive
The elusive smile
Found it’s way back to my heart.
Joy comes from within.
Haiku No. 19: Circles
Birds circling above
Slip-sliding on waves unseen
Dancing with sunbeams
