Haiku Bones #25 ~ Miracle

Waves return
Like echoes

Waves cycle
Like seasons

Waves are repetitive rhythms
Like refrains in a song

Waves never judge
Like the faithful spirit of a dog
Always there
Always just giving time
Just giving

Waves are like the fanciful questions and answers of childhood
Echoing
Cycling
A refrain
Always just giving
To those who wish to enjoy
Through the eyes of a child

It is never too late
To enjoy the spirit of waves
To experience
A glimpse of
Childhood wonder
Childhood happiness
To be
A child
For a little while

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
