The Flutist

“I have flown and fallen, and I have swum deep and drowned, but there should be more to love than “I survived it.” 

― Lisa Mantchev, So Silver Bright

And if
my music tames
and quells your urge to strike
will you slither into the cool
green sea
with me and we’ll float in mossy
dreams, falling, falling deep
love’s mystery
revealed

Author’s Note: At Carpe Diem, we have been challenged to to revise the following haiku by Taigi:

arranging the plum-flowers,
I would enjoy them in the light of the lamp,
as if in the moonlight

The Hand of God

Courtesy of: Robert Sullivan

Rising up from a sandy desert floor,
the Hand of God against a tumultuous sky
and though I am not a devout woman
when I see this swaying heavy saguaro
defying the laws of gravity, still vibrant and living
through dust storms, scorching sun, powerful winds
I in reverence, ponder how
others can deny the existence of God
for in nature there are astounding miracles
every moonlit aubergine night and sun-gold dusted day
leaving me dumb-founded, catch my breath gasping
in awe of His exquisitely beautiful presence.

Cloudless Bluebird Sky

“It was a beautiful bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it.” 

― Diana Gabaldon, Outlander

Under a cloudless bluebird sky
picturesque autumn ambles in
dressed in finest colors
of amber, scarlet, gamboge, and I
anticipating the thrill of cooler weather
dream of nights by a fire sipping red wine
and sharing with you all my dreams
of a life spent cherishing simple things.
