ROOTED IN TODAY' SUNSHINE

ROOTED IN TODAY’S SUNSHINE
     (A Haiku Trilogy)

The moon said, “bye sun”;
laid him in his horizon
to wake tomorrow:-

Perpendicular, 
I rose between sky and ground;
rooted in sunshine:-

Today has been great,
tomorrow promises more:
yesterday, survived:-

Monocrostic (Birthday of Ellen Combalicer)

Rooted Rising

I walk with books, not shoes of gold,
A dream stitched tight in hands grown bold.
From streets where silence fills the air,
To classrooms lit with whispered prayer.

Hispanic heart, both fierce and kind,
With stories etched in every line.
Though coins are few, my will runs deep,
I plant my hopes where others sleep.

The world may doubt, but I believe—
Justice

Rooted

Today, my hair is jazz—
wild coils improvising in the wind,
syncopated with no apology.
It scats when I walk,
riffs when I laugh,
and plays the truth off-key
because it knows perfection
never wrote a song worth singing.

Yesterday, it was a sonnet:
tight bun, precise,
each strand obeying metre,
a form I wore to keep from unravelling.
There is comfort in structure,
even if it strangles,
even

SAPPED ROOTED SOULS

With our soul’s valleys
watered with God’s wet spirit,
and his healing love,
be as trees of divine sap
sagely rooted in his work:- 

ROOTED AND GROWING

rooted and growing

Forgiven and sowed...
rooted in God's love garden...
growing gracefully...

Rooted

Beneath the shade of a tree 
On a blanket handed down
In shoes that are too big still
And a yard with untouched ground
Someday you will stand 
To take your first steps here
Someday you will reach 
And climb the branches near

Atop the canopy of leaves
When you’re looking low
Peer upon a flower bed
With springtime seeds to sew
Soil riddling

Rooted Life

Tendrils,
Twisted, reaching,
Sun-warmed leaves, fruit hangs ripe,
Man's patient and yielding journey,
Vineyard.

Rooted: A Goodbye Letter to Chicago

Chicago, you rooted me down while lifting me up. Providing the nourishment I needed since I was a little stump. I’ve grown so much over the years and now ready to brave a new frontier. 
 
My root system traces back for generations. Sprouting offspring that remained planted for decades while weathering life’s gyrations. For

rooted GRACED IN FORGIVENESS LOVE-

---I seek to forgive you, 
grace so that we both may be
---recipients of mercy and grace
I am eager to submit 
---and be rooted in His Love

Rooted

Our roots start, deep within our minds
That hold bodies and personalities of all kinds

Our families are here to help us see 
The person we are truly meant to be

Deep down, within our brains
We keep up an act, to avoid the drain

And we strive to be Kind
Fore when evil happens, we shall not act Blind

Negative energy

Alchemy

I ease into the moment, 
Breathe it all in.
My environment expands,
Provides all I need.

I bathe in the opportunity to continuously receive.

I longer talk myself out of my desires,
My most precious needs.
Steadily present in this very moment,
I feel just how rich my life is.

I ask for what is wanted,
Sifting through the contrast that is life,
Seeing the

A deep obsession penetrated his mind, an untamed and deeply rooted passion

A deep obsession penetrated his mind, an untamed and deeply rooted passion,
Not even a twelve-step program could bring him the much-desired relief,
The poet had an incurable addiction, a need for freedom that he couldn't control,
His mind traveled to wild lands, unknown places full of promises.
An unending desire pulled at his soul, like an invisible and

What is the taste of happiness, ask the trees rooted in tale

What is the taste of happiness, ask the trees rooted in tale,
And the wind brings on southern wings answers hidden in crests.
Is it sweet, like golden apples from immortal orchards,
Or bitter, like the wine from cups of kings long gone?
Its color lies hidden in the palette of shy dawns,
Or perhaps it hides in the venom

ROOTED-

strange is the cornerstone 
it's built beneath the ground
 the roots are traveling forward
 upside down the many tentacles 
such spectacle
 piercing grounds and turf spectacle 
someone mystikal glorious heaven
so were forward worth I am rooted and grounded
