Small things matter in grand schemes.
Strength will pollinate.

Distractions- Night Time Haiku 7-25-20
Distractions

A million voices
Cross the lines, block the clouds of
Beauty’s calls to me.

The Voice In the Sun
From the sky’s great hall
He calls. Hot breath descending
To the earth becomes
Glamour, hiding the meaning
Of the ancient truths he’s seen.

COUNTING THOUGHTS

My thoughts count man’s transgressions.
There’s no turning back.
Intending to hide.
From the thunder, we instead
Run straight into God.

HERE IS MY ATTEMPT:
WE WHO SEE SUNSETS
by J. LILLIE
Shadows gather down
By the world’s chin, aging up
The Earth’s darker look.
We who see sunsets
Know the planet’s changing face
Means it’s time to go.

Rag Torch- Tanka Poetry
Passion is the light
Expelling halos of night.
A Shepherd’s rag-torch
It sends the wolves careening,
Maddened into the shadows.
