Reset

Posted on by under June's Haiku, Quest200

Punctuated
by thunder and ambulance tears
today felt in need of a reset

But somehow
rain washed punctuation
into a poem

The poem
full of gentle phrasing delighted in
torrents of light

Words, by June Perkins

No 18 -20 in the Quest to 200

Beyond

Posted on by under June's Haiku, Quest200

Illumination
through curtains of devotion
opening her spiritual eyes

Her eyes look
beyond roses and thorns
their focus is the desire for dawn

Dawn understands prayers embrace
illumines inner being
With Amazing Grace

Release

Posted on by under June's Haiku, Quest200

‘Release me,’ said the soul
as if it were a bird
and the divine spirit heard

Bird song become
notes of prayers and lost ones longing for
the future boat’s arrival.

 

No.7 and 8 in the Journey 200

in future unseen
