Street home

Captured breath clouding,

Hidden in brown walled cardboard,

Melting unsafe place.

Epiphany haiku

they carried promise

fealty, worship, sorrow,

giving the unseen

Roadblock haiku

When the road is blocked,

the obstacle too heavy,

We take the wild way

Advent 37 (haiku 14)

Prayer for the mothers,

Bearers of all we become,

Hosts of the divine.

Advent 35 (haiku 13)

Is this grieving here,

This moment of arrival,

Mourning the journey

Advent 34 (haiku 12)

Expectation wakes,

There can be only hours,

Fear and peace wrestling

Advent 28 (haiku 11)

The guest room was full,

So many had to come here,

The first amongst the least.

Advent 26 (haiku 10)

Resting holy day,

In silent seeking of prayer,

Is whispering heard

Advent 24 (Haiku 9)

After the solitude,

So much pressure squeezing in,

Aching for the road.

Advent 23 (haiku 8)

This place is crowded,

Swelling, rushing everywhere,

Pregnant with stillness.
