Across the green sea

three rabbits chase each other -

      I sit still, watching.

 

Then one ran past my feet, another under my chair. Would have liked to have worked "twitching, leaping, ears laid back" into it. Maybe next time - I'm sure they will be back! 

 Dull, damp, dismal day,

 fog, rain, mist, smoke from the fires -

        Friends come, life lightens. 

Patio sitting -

hot, sun, but shade approaching!

       Rip - oh, oh, new chair?

                     Or

      Rip - new chair called for. 

 Eternal God,

Alpha, First, Beginning of all things -

as the smoke from the fires swirls over and around me,

as the darkness of the day brings fear and despair,

I hear kindly voices calling -

 "Come" - to the City where the Lamb is the Light;

 "Wash" - yourself clean from the dust of the day

    and from all that would hold you back;

 "Drink" - of the Water of Life.

Let your Holy Spirit touch my heart and mind

and lead me to respond,

that I might be with you, 

Bright Morning Star, Omega, Last,

at the Ending of all things. 

 Blue sky and green leaves,

tulips of many colors -

       Technicolor world.

                      Or

       A Kodachrome world.

 

I can still hear Paul Simon with that last option. Either way the vibrant colors are welcome after a white winter.

 Made bread, granola,

washed lunch dishes - it's kick back

       Friday afternoon!

 

Still feeling kind of tired getting over that cold. And I don't know - "washed" - one syllable or two? Sounds like one to me.

 Coughing, runny nose,

general "achyness"  - spring cold.

     Try for tomorrow.

 

So scrambling two eggs, taking out the compost bucket, forwarding two photos, and this haiku are about it so far - and I don't anticipate a whole lot more happening today.  Maybe tomorrow.
