Faithku: Haiku of the Heart
(Concrete Moving Pictures)
1.
autos lift debris
man’s footprint stomps on oceans
acid rain fells forests
2.
love is bread of life
faith love’s seed for next year’s crop
justice always grace
3.
politics of fear
all compromise vilified
“right to life” brings death
4.
life’s blessing mixed
love from Christ, death born of Cain
not all fruit is sweet
5.
evil is a choice
love is just its own reward
rented never owned
6.
wisdom means broken
the beginning of humility
getting you’re not God

Poet's Notes:
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
