Haiku


Blue Hues spill into

A river that has been and

Will be pass all in time

Haiku


Frog and Run

In the words of Niki

” just do it “🐸 Kermit is an inspiration

And my run was good,

Orchid


A bloom Christen white

An orchid blooms upright

Twice; generation

Normal


I run because I am
I run because it is there
A healing ritual

The Dance


My feet clips into the cement

Drumming the rise of the sun

As the river’s fog dances with the tide.

Tanka


Rain has come down now

Sun has hidden it’s red glare

I sit rain drenched wet

And still feel the world’s despair

Meditating 🧘‍♀️ hope must rise .

Breaking Through


Make every day count

Break through gravity holding back

Each tomorrow shines

Sunrise


A flight from dark night

A runner starts up across hope

Finishes anew …

Morning


Let me wash my face with the morning dew

Dress my soul with the songs of birds

Pick the dawn with the hopes anew

Walk among the crickets I’ve heard

And take with me a symphony

Given by the hooting owl

Live again another day

And dry my feet with Nature’s towel
