Lotus, Joan Z. Rough, © 2006Alone with myself
I open my heart to sun
A happy flower
Sitting in silence
I hear the wind moving sand
A happy stone
In the dark of night
I hear lonely hearts crying
I send them prayers

I love the progression of these...really nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThese are so soothing, and especially so knowing you've just come back from vacation. Nice.
ReplyDeleteAfter catching my breath on that photo I took a read. Happy flowers, rocks and prayers. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! These are stunning haiku and the photo - WOW, as always you just knock my socks off with your photography. I love the way your haiku progress - they flow so nicely.
ReplyDeleteYour previous post about your vacation brought back lots of memories. We used to go to Toronto almost yearly for vacation. The Stratford Festival is also a big favorite of ours - it's only about 3 hours away, so we go quite often. It's a great little town. And I am totally with you on the resting part of vacation - very important!
so elegantly wonderful, and my heavens, the photo!
ReplyDeleteStunning photo - wow!
