Zen Haiku

4509

in cat naps
the afternoon winds
stir the redden leaves

foot falls
my sounds follow
walking on the moon

wild as an ocean
tickled after the storm
the dove nest still there

down from the attic
the school-band trumpet
in my son’s first notes

sand dunes
his and her office clothes
left behind

morning snow
the layers
on her bike’s seat

yesterday’s beach
the sea-weed that fills
our foot prints

a thunder passed storm
the roos from the trees
covering the hill

humming bird
the beats a sip of nectar
can hold

finally there
the ducklings joined up
for their long flight home
