Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Strength In Storms

waves crash mist and spray
touch upon lighthouse's strong walls..
lights steadily warn

lightkeeper's sturdy
rock home filled with light warmth love..
unharmed as storm passes

delphiniums bloom
their gauze blossoms withstand storm..
strength in featherweight
