Five Haikus
Shelter rests in you
whispers sparrow to the elm
leaves balance on limbs
Sun crawls up the sky
the moon is in the heavens
the morning glory
Swimming toward god
wind tangles among the seed
the journey begins
Growing wise follows
the tree apples the warm earth
agelessness gives grace
Spirals able life
moonlight travels from the gods
babies mystify
