#NatureSpeaks: 30 #Poems in 30 Days โ€“ Day 10: Scattered Sakura, by C.X. Turner

I find you
in the flower
and the water

in tears of late winter
early spring comes true
gently trickling

love
flows softly, intently
rippling between us

yet scattered
sakura petalsโ€ฆ
drift with the current

ceasing to resist
integrating my present
with a smile

I find you, again

Haiku #26

Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

the sounds of water
cascade through me, quiet and
quite beyond compare

I made it out to Silver Falls State Park today. What an amazing morning. Beautiful. I will share more about the hike in the next installment of Willamette Valley Wanderings and Wonderings, yet just had to share this pic, and the accompanying haiku, which occured to me as I took in all of the beauty today.

Haiku #24

Water, transfixed in
mind, ruminations abound
as life mirrors back.

water tepid, and
luxurious in color,
as fragrance abounds.

Haiku #8

Dry and arid landscape,
Cracks in the ground bring water.
Seed to stem. Renew.

Water

Your majesty,
I do see while
sitting under the
shady tree.

As I look out
at Your crests,
and hold true to
the feeling in my chest.

A beauty beyond
comprehension.

On land,
we only ever see

a fraction

of Your love
and devotion,

which You send
to us all, even
when we least expect
it.

And, thatโ€™s when itโ€™s
most detected
by the senses,
even if we donโ€™t

know

whatโ€™s protecting
us
in each moment.

You know,
and always have,
for your Grace is
everlasting, like

a strand
that goes on
forever and ever
until the very end.

And, then?

It all starts again.
