Way of the Raven

Nahaiwrimo (Mountain)

This is the last prompt for April and my last haiku for Nahaiwrimo, at least for now. Am taking a break.


healing vision quest
to red rock desert mountains
Raven leads the way

On Raven's Wings

no roots to take ground
seek safety floating above
aerial roots await

hidden deep within my mind
wisdom for healing

How My Garden Grows

Nahaiwrimo (Garden)

my garden teaches
patience and perseverance
each year a new lesson

hands in the dirt
close to Mother Nature
I grow with the plants

waiting in line outside
to see The David

Time Unfurls

Nahaiwrimo (Time)

once trapped in amnesia
time unfurls painfully
in slow motion

Racing Thoughts

turning in my mind
thoughts like hamster wheels
racing too quickly

Quiet Mind

Nahaiwrimo

bamboo flute
quiets my mind
lulls me to sleep 

Unseen Evil

in darkness of night
by light of the full moon
unseen evil hides

Waiting for Love

Memories of You

Nahaiwrimo (Mushroom)

like fine truffles
i root for love letters
touching your memory

Mind Alleys

Nahaiwrimo (Alley)

wide gaps in memory
narrow to alleys
synapses try to cross

Lost and Found

Nahaiwrimo (Miss/Missing)

missing pieces of me
still find their way
to heart and soul

Secret Heartache

Nahaiwrimo

smiles on outside
grief stricken inside
his concealed nature

A Question of Safety

Nahaiwrimo (Zoo)

some humans choose
to become caged animals
victims never free

***

zoo is safer than nature
animals prey to humans
trophies for display

Quiet Mind

Nahaiwrimo (Sound)

sound in my mind
sometimes quiets
wisdom speaks

***

distant fog horn at night
last ferry departing
childhood memory 

Nightmares

Nahaiwrimo (Red)

dreams into nightmares
startled awake trembling
awash with red

Precipice of Death

Nahaiwrimo (Precipice)

so many times
to the precipice of death
the abyss waits
