raging storm

I walk and wade
along a line in the sky

drawn by verses
twinkling in the night

a lullaby

calling out
sounds and notes

the last defense against allegories
of misanthrope

a raging storm

calmed
by tides of peace, love, and hope

butterfly touch

pain and pleasure
often go together, a mystery

of feelings
conjured from the depths
of being

one
with the gifts bestowed
sitting transfixed

I know
the touch of butterfly wings
which

always
take me
into the night

where everything is hidden
yet

still in plain sight
reminding me

I have finally arrived

butterfly wings was inspired by the poem Love and Pain, by Peace Isama.

sun rises slow, I
breathe in the last of night, and
wait, the sky aflame.

Haiku #5

Waves crash on the beach,
Salty mist blows from the west.
Night turns into day.
