Haiku Sunday – Enough
“Enough”
Attempts to be all,
until all becomes white noise,
deafened by silence.

“Connect”
Split wood in the hearth,
food- and wine-laden table,
and relaxed laughter.

Haiku Sunday – Candle
“Candle”
Lone flickering flame,
holding the darkness at bay,
glowing focal point.

Haiku Wednesday – Hold
“Hold”
Tides ebb, the wheel turns,
sand grains wash out and return.
Hold fast the taut line.

Haiku Sunday – Shimmer
“Shimmer”
Flakes of gilded foil
crust undulating black sheets,
yellow moonlit waves.

Haiku Wednesday – Motivate
“Motivate”
Flicker rekindled,
searching for a direction.
Candle in the dark.

Haiku Sunday – Strain
“Strain”
Over-exertion,
stretched too much, or not enough,
forced, much needed rest.

Haiku Sunday – Aged
“Aged”
Harsh edges mellowed,
absorbed, rounded in wood grain,
with lingering burn.

Haiku Wednesday – Signal
“Signal”
A beacon is lit,
or a silent gesture made,
a hand reaching out.
