Inner and Outer

INNER AND OUTER

when being inside
not sitting out  -   looking in
what a difference!

birth from the middle
what a struggle     what bawling
on the loss of warmth

see the burning bush
marvel at what is inside
lifetime of searching

view of a manger
with mother and babe inside
behold!     the star

a lonely moment
left out of everything
what is life about?

Dave Austin

I love the metaphors in these haiku Daver. It's all about love, giving and receiving. Beautiful! : ) 7

Excellent piece Daver. On really hard cold days it's easy to get lost in contemplation of everything. What is it all about. I found my answer in my Bible. It says God created us for one reason. To give Himself something to love and something that would love Him back. Great job here. God Bless and a seven from me. JB

Good morning Daver! Thumbs up for originality! Enjoying this so much that I keep rereading it. A Double entente? Maybe, you are always full of fun and surprises.:) Have a great weekend, stay warm and keep well! Love, Mikki

One that is pondering life. YOu are doing it a lot, Daver. I love that first stanza. It's really cool (not sitting out - looking in). I imagine you in your house looking out on the snowy world this week (unless it got nice and warmer like it did today in Utah!)
