Many Moons ~ Haiku

Through veils of mist
the eclipsing moon-glow swells
into many moons.

Reflections on the full moon eclipse of 2015, magnificent even under overcast skies!


like raindrops

 
It is subtly poignant,
the drip-dribble, pitter-pats
of fat rain droplets ‘midst
a hissing wind-blustered,
drenching downpour. A symphony
of soloists, some tinkling softly,
others plopping boisterously,
all playing a part in the wild
wet cacophony, lulling me
into meditative reflection…
People are a lot like raindrops,
don’t you think? Our deepest
longing, simply to be heard.

heart over matter


my mind insists horizon’s glow of
yellow, orange and red is due to
scatterings of molecules, a spectrum
of prismatic twists, refracted rays
of fading light, the sun’s elliptic
pass on distant atmospheric paths
at dusk of night and then
again on rising, night to dawn.
but…
my heart…
my heart
simply
believes
it’s
magic!

ode to autumn

autumnleaves

twirl me on the cooling breeze
toss my hair with feathered kiss,
gaze at me through smoky haze
of embers warm and luminous.
lay me down on sodden beds
where the veil is ever thin,
pungent, fragrant gold-red death
pale moon glow upon my skin.
season of my heart and soul
faithful, grace-filled, ever true
meet me for our yearly tryst
here beneath the harvest moon.

(A note to earlier visitors to this Haiku. I was not satisfied with the ending. Just a tweak more punctuation needed. 😊 c’est fini!)
