Linking with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai “power of words” theme: movement
“Haiku is the poetry of nature and nature is always in motion…” ~ Chèvrefeuille, CDHK host
summer daylight fades
earth turns away from sun’s face
weed bows seedful head

“In your light we see light.” -Ps.36:9b

first rays enlighten ditches
grass gives thanks for dew
evening worship walk
sunset illumines grain fields
God whispers his love
