Walk Softly Live Gently

This weeks prompt at One Deep Breath is ‘balance’

Rock

Paper

Scissors

Stone on stone

Mind and heart

Heart wins

You are the earth

You are the sky

Yes, you are

For this weeks haiku prompt “Simple Pleasures) at One Deep Breath Poetry

Downs knows no bounds
When he smiles that broad smile
I melt in pleasure

Brody runs, grabs, hugs
Paw Paw, full lips offered
purest simplest pleasure

lift wet stone from creek
wet bare feet, soaked blue jeans
crayfish* between toes

for One Deep Breath poetry

*Crayfish (Northeast, Great Lakes)

Crawdad (Southeast, Midwest, Plains)

Crawfish (All over U.S.)

Ripe for abuse

this weeks juicy prompt is;

Yoda quickly dries chin.

For One Deep Breath Poetry

head fell to shoulder

as emptiness overtook

mind as cloud

Since Writers Island has so many different writers in it I thought to dig up an oldie (August 28th) that I wrote for “One Deep Breath” haiku site. (And my wife had hip replacement surgery today so I’m a little distracted)

Onyx and Pearl

Tiny diamonds surround them

brought tears to her eyes

two soft loving lips

add two more willing soft lips

gently stir. Voila!

when you come

blossoms burst with color

frog leaps higher

simplicity shines-
in a well written haiku
like morning sunsets

truth is non dual

only seeing is itself truth

all else is bondage

Based on a quote by Wei Wu Wei

giving self to love

with our deepest and best

like flowers to bees

It smells nothing

like rain, sudden in the sun,

an open window

This manifest form

rooted deeply, perfectly

as that which is.

No boundaries exist

for week 64, One Deep Breath prompt: “daybreak”

Light breaks over hills

When darkness overwhelms

The Earth just smiles

Enlightenment comes

Out of an empty cosmos

Day lilies laugh

Lightness of heart

shatters the night doom

at dawns horizon
