hair would shine gray but
sons don’t wish me to look old
frost comes with autumn
danger of frost

promise of new life
a singular affection
robins’ nest treasure
bathe with sea water
birth in gritty suffering
shell’s precious jewel

It’s dry and we’re hoping for rain soon (link to Kristjaan’s prompt at CDHK).
loud rumble and flash
wind whipping drops of moisture
prairie’s night drama

hands nailed wide open
his blood offered as ransom
reconciling grace
not just religion
intimate relationship
God moves in with us
love’s embodiment
worthy of our devotion
he pursues us first
Linking with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai’s prompt on “devotion”
the winter is past…

wrens did not return
youngest son built new birdhouse
our hearts are frozen
and the sound of birds is heard…
late wrens sit in bush
life is more than building nests
sing little hearts out

flock of black starlings
dark shapes clinging to bare tree
now leaves fall…skyward!
