Haiku Crazy Wisdoms

The crashing waves ripped. One surfboard flipped, disappeared – And strength swam ashore. Soldiers seek God’s face Amid blasting, fire, and death. A few find solace. Women birth children. Fathers become their leaders - When love has no girth. Tsunamis may drown, Earthquakes may scatter earth around. Willingly, God helps The distant planet Travels, showing its dark face – Man shall see its light. Signs and seasons pass. Life lessons inflict sore pain. But God can uplift. Daybreak welcomes dawn. The sun delivers brightness. Wisdom is thankful. Before the sunrise, A rooster crows in darkness. Singing bragging rights. Traveling with speed, Interstate traffic flies by. Some folks watch and pray. Hanging on to life, Two, in sickness and in health, Love nature’s great gifts. Time passed slowly Once upon a youthful time, But speeds up with age. Fool-heart was happy When it heard many crickets – Ringing in its head. Euphoria knows. A wonderful thing…the mind – Can be a compass. God gives His riches. Open eyes perceive great gifts – Beauty everywhere. © October 3, 2010 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen
