Where's the Miracle?




Kath with me today;
Company on haiku walk;
Always something new.


It's late afternoon--
Sun has moved over the lawn;
Now casts soft shadows.


On tips of the grass
Sun spreads the last light of day--
Glowing, pointy peaks.


In the wood's deep gloom
White flowers give off their light.
Thunder far away.


Now the sun has gone;
The road is covered with gray;
I hear our footsteps.


TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13


Bright morning sunshine
Touches the old spider web;
Blotches on the lawn.

Air purifier
Humming in the living room
Makes me want to sleep.


Dark timothy grass
Rises spectral from the field;
Absorbs the sunshine.


Dark and sunlit stream
Courses into the forest;
Its sound is muted.

Too fast for camera,
Leaves keep falling from the sky;
I will catch one yet.


Where's the miracle
On this sunny Fall morning?
It must be ahead.
