Autumn Closing In Haiku
the wind in the trees
rewards me for walking with
one turkey feather
Three Haiku – Daily Constitutional at the Office Park
sunny open field
soft, cool air of late summer
and the maple’s shade
bare feet in the grass
daily constitutional
sans electronics
indescribable
the pleasure that comes from just
a moment outside
Haiku: September, Rust, Highway
September colors
rusting along the highway
meridian changes
Haiku: July Sky Trees
supine under trees
latticework of green, blue sky
doing the yin work
April 21 Haiku: English Robins, Yarrow, Arctic Air
red-breasted robin
each with his own patch of earth
tiny englishmen
yarrow’s tender fronds
rising from the grass below
survived the winter
arctic air displaced
too warm at the poles above
can we send it back?
Invocation of the Goddess
Great Mother Goddess, help me through this day
Great Mother Goddess, keep my eyes on the task before me
Great Mother Goddess, let me release the nonessential
Great Mother Goddess, teach me love and compassion
Great Mother Goddess, open my heart to your abundance
Great Mother Goddess, I am your child and your companion
Great Mother Goddess, remind me I am being taken care of
Great Mother Goddess, I am a lily in your eyes
Great Mother Goddess, I am a rose before you
Great Mother Goddess, I am an oak, I am ironwood
Great Mother Goddess, I am all the creatures of the forest
Great Mother Goddess, I am the bugs crunching within the soil
Great Mother Goddess, I am the slime mold that dismantles the dead
Great Mother Goddess, I am the silence of the frozen winter
Great Mother Goddess, I am the secret germ in the seed
Great Mother Goddess, I am the silence of a swan gliding over still water
Great Mother Goddess, I am a cherry tree in blossom
Great Mother Goddess, I am an apple tree bearing fruit
Great Mother Goddess, I am a hive of bees making honey
Great Mother Goddess, I am a bear moving deliberate through the trees
Great Mother Goddess, I am a wild mustang in the desert
Great Mother Goddess, I am a cow grazing in a green paddock,
Great Mother Goddess, I am a hen laying eggs in the barn
Great Mother Goddess, I am a tadpole wriggling in a pool
Great Mother Goddess, I am a serpent flying through the endless sea
Great Mother Goddess, I am your child, I am your child, rocked to sleep in your lap
I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed
After shamanic invocations of the Celts before battle and the work of the bard Taliesin.
