Ripples in the Stillness of the Sky
Watching the full spring moon
Travel across the southern sky
Progress visible behind
The leafless branches
Moving quickly to escape
Any rays of the sun
It's face smiling
Benevolently
Ripples In The Stillness
(Day 4- A Haiku story)
Shaded profile stands
Alone on a dry dock. 'Squawk',
Shrills a nesting bird
Glen Lake surface sighs,
Basking in the setting sun;
Glows in nature's garb
Lifted from the sand,
Smooth, round and evenly flat-
Glossy beige pebble
Ready? At the calm,
Posed profile skips the pebble
On the sleeping lake
Three hushed gasps echo
As concentric rings shudder
Out, on the water.

April 4th – Ripples in the Stillness
Our presence causes ripples in the stillness of the earth
Our being here involves a cycle evolving to death from birth
Such chaos as we contemplate our purpose and our worth
If only our main goal were to promote positivity and mirth
Selfish ways would not cause ripples in the stillness of the earth

Ripples In The Stream
Sometimes in the night
Calm, silky, inky-black air
Stolen by sirens.
