Sunday Haiku
Voices crying out Pain, frustration, fill the air Fear striving to win I cannot listen Cannot let hatred take me- I watch swirling leaves Wind makes a whirlwind Of yellow, red, and orange While I am sobbing I cannot see the wind Or chart my own breath's pathway Yet I know both are real Nor can I see love Or hate- yet I know their fruits- Tangible and real Can cruelty win out? Hatred of others triumph? Not if I say NO So I walk Love's path But stagger, feeling all alone- Please reach out your hand Grab hold, my dear friend Form a wall of daring love Hatred cannot breach. Love wins.
