haiku: haunting images

haunting images

wind broken lives of the poor

widows and orphans

 

haiku: day of the cross

Ethiopian

“Day of the Cross”–you need a

ticket to see it

 

haiku: mystical

the breaking of bread

with others is common and

mystical at once

 

haiku: cinnamon toast

pungent cinnamon

spice once exotic and rare

now common as toast

 

haiku: city dwellers

city dwellers know

nothing of the vinedressers’

joy of harvest time

 

haiku: coming again

the Son of Man

will come again in the same 

way in which he left

 

haiku: morning moon

autumn morning moon

fixed in the sky for purposes

beyond the Big Bang

 

haiku: Ancient of Days

the Ancient of Days

pathways of righteousness good

for the young and old

 

haiku: unmerited love

salve, soup, and soap are 

God’s  good  gifts through human hands

unmerited love

 

haiku: desert wanderings

my flocks are scattered

with no shepherd to comfort

desert wanderings
