Lullaby

He, who is free
The wind sings him lullabies
Dirt roads - his highway

Whisper

Softest whispers
Against beating summer wings
Stronger and stronger

For Haiku Heights

Sherry's Summer Evening

Sherry's Sunset over at Stardreaming with Sherry Blue Sky

The blues and violets of Sherry's sky
are tinted with the magic of pain
love and sacrifice

A dream too strong to resist

The golden hued clouds race
far beyond the horizon
to kiss the sundrenched waves

Whales come a calling in the mist

Are there rainbows, Sherry
in your spiritual land, where your heart
returns again and again

I can see you home in the midst

Of laughing 'refugees from the 60s'
dancing seas and shimmering skies
sunsets that call upon your dreams

In life, you have touched your ultimate wish

How many of us can say this?

-------------------------------------------------

For my friend, Sherry Blue Sky

Burden upon young shoulders

Centuries come and go

Each with its economic crisis

That's what they call it

But how can we face our family

And say we do not have anymore

Left to eat

Nor place to live?

I am just feeling melancholy today. Didn't mean to drag anyone down...

Friendship

Green grass tall

Heightened sense of joy

You and me - Oh, boy!

------------------------------

Friendship, formed in spring

Holds true to last til winter

Tried and tested

------------------------------

A dime a dozen

Fair weathered acquaintances

Childhood friends - priceless
