# 25 haiku–Pahala Waking


Pahala town

Pahala town

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pahala waking

Volcanic haze breaking dawn

Orange silhouette

 

Anticipating Dawn


Day 8

I swallow the stars as I breathe in,

Releasing them into the universe,

My heart beating rapidly with fire,

Knowing, anticipating, wanting,

Counting seconds of light before

She arrives, soft, beautiful, brilliant.

Venus Haiku and Haiku Healing

Day 4: Venus Haiku

 

There she is again

Sweet pulsating sensation

Heaven’s deity

 

You have always been

Ahu of my horizon

Venus of my heart.

 

 

Day 5: haiku healing

 

Teach me to be healed

My fibers are your fibers

Green earthly petals

 

 

Still Night Before Dawn

Day One ‘14

Still night before dawn,

My thoughts gain clarity

In the sound of rain thudding on tin roof

Like after-thoughts jolting me awake

Trying to find relevance:

The dog is restless and needs to go out.

How can I get through the day without coffee?

Today is a friend’s birthday.

I don’t think I’m ready.

 

The rain draws me back into her intensity,

Steady with beauty And birdsong,

“You’re ready. You’re ready.”

Stolen Stars

I

“You have stolen my stars”
And I don’t mind
Where torn patches in the night sky
Once gathered taut
To hold my universe in
Now billows
Frayed edges free
Unraveling
Like a winter scarf worn thin.

II

It’s raining.
Darkness still clings to my skin,
And stars, gleaming like a million
Ancient fires
Flicker in my heart,
Blinking
In that silent moment before dawn.

III

Let go your heavy heart,

embers of memories,

illusions of fire,

And take back your stars

Pulsating tenderly in my night sky,

Aching impatiently in these long winter hours,

Take back your stars and sit with me

In this divine night

Sipping tendrils of light

Until morning.
