I love, I am prepared – Latifa Prayer (haibun)
Loving comes so easy, she thinks of her children and grandchildren. As much as it is easy to forgive someone you love, it is not so easy to forgive oneself. That is still a work in progress. Once she has mastered forgiving herself she will be on the path of self-love. The greatest love of all is to love self as we are made in the image and likeness of Our Creator. When self-love is achieved, then, she will be prepared.

Better late than never…I don’t reread my old posts, so trying to find one of my best haiku was not an easy feat. But I do remember enjoying writing my haiga last September during 30 Days of Haiga. Here is a haiga I chose because it is a moment I treasure, seeing butterlies and blossoms late in the season…in autumn.
here is my rewrite:
bees and butterflies
refusing to retire

Daily Moments May 21 2016 painful preludes (Troiku)
awakening
galloping above carelessly
hammers to my head
awakening
run with reckless abandon
innocent children
galloping above carelessly
but, if only –
it was outside
hammers to my head
pounding tauntingly
tools I now despise

if only
indoor sounds sang
like starlings

angels on fluffy clouds

like wings of a hummingbird
heart beats

Desires of youths is to be loved and accepted, somehow to feel they fit in. One grows into human wants and desires and always co-existing with being loved. And yet, to love and give love is so easy…to hold, to embrace either a friend, a child or a lover but without that affection from a lover, I am happier alone. I can fulfill this desire by giving in so many ways…embracing a crying youth on the phone or a good friend.
My desire to see my children happy and content is still strong although I know it is out of my control but still…and to some day have a two books published of my short stories and poetry to give to my children so they have something of me…speaking from my heart, my soul and in my voice.

rousing singing sparrows
bid the muse goodnight
time to rest a spell before
