The Reveal – haiku

in a night abyss
shimmering with white diamonds
hope winks with promise

The Music

It was a moment
when coyotes sangย 
their usual chorus –
running withย 
freedom
on their backs, over hills

golden from the rays,
no longer emerald by the mist

that carried me into aย 
dream state – my breathing
in syncย 
with his, our minds
cloud-
floating in a
marshmallowย 
sky

even in this tranquil state,
I managed a smile
whileย 
Frank sang, โ€œCome
danceย 
with meโ€

and so, we gently tapped
and swayed to his rhythm,
embracing like thereโ€™s no
tomorrow –
a charmed moment of bliss
that ended in one tender kiss

If You Believe

dolphin in the wavesย 

Have you wished to fly
in the big blue sky,
soaring with angels near
and feathered friends so dear?

Think how incredible to swim
in the ocean on a whim,
with a chummy dolphin
and the biggest grin

Imagine strolling in a meadow
with a butterfly show
or tiptoeing amongst the stars
to the music of guitars

Lend an ear to what I propose
Close your eyes, twinkle your nose
Cross your arms, blink three times
Twirl around, youโ€™ll hear the chimes

(I thought a smile would be welcomed
to end the week. This is revised from
several years ago, and I’m wishing you a
fabulous Friday and weekend!)
