Zen Haiku

Poem 5276

a shower shared
she smiles at the parts
as I name them

the buoys toll
a wave lifts a hand
to raise our yacht

in dreams about dolphins
guiding our way–
Mediterranean cruise

sea breeze window
between me my R.E.M
and the tides of sleep

changing the sheets
the bedroom sunlight
stirred with our skins

Frangipani night
a butterfly finds the scent
to my candle

a dawn light jog
starting my stop-watch
at the front door

the heat of the night
feeling at these beach waves
just to lose them

the storm
lashing at the sands
to the cry of the gulls

the moth’s
whole silent purpose
eggs to the forest
