seven haiku, written to solo oboe melody

release

pressure subsiding
cork pulled out of the bottle
champagne bubbles joy

warmth

sun hits the canvas
afternoon light makes colors
fresh casaba melon

why try

why try to exude
the light that makes up every fiber
like sea tries to be wet

be love

become river's source
no need to mirror love- be
love, as spilling violets

love keeps the beat

wind sweeps the flowers
love keeps the cadence alive-
heart heals over tea

bless & forgive

bless all that rises
earthly scented-  hearty rye
crunchy soft- forgives

"one" in our willingness

breaking bread with all
who are willing to enter-
allowing silence
