Leading the Blind

Charted lanes of custom,
 complacency alights
familiarity trumping all
—mindless in the night

sparrow hawk alights-
the chattering
stops


just one flap of wings-
the raptor makes its kill
pouncing down at will

fearless adventurer wearing wings
alights at end of my fingers
i keep my garden hose steady
unknown bird dips low
loving her drinks

round and round it comes down, 

white small stars of delight, 

cool tongue as it alights

brisk light crystalline gown

The Anguish of the Creation

The anguish of the creation
is carried deep into the wind’s heart
and alights upon the clouds
so that it will come back
as a gushing water 
upon the Earth.

Purpose

for each,
God has given a purpose
some be movers and shakers
as a mighty oak
most, however,
are but a simple blade of grass
on which a butterfly alights

Airborne

                    expire
    To soar on wings aquire spitfire fly,
     last flight alights retire expire sigh.

In the frigid silence of glacial eve, penguins gather tight. 
Emperors, waddling half in black, under half-lit southern night.
One dreams of flight, yet stays on course; with colony alights.

flowers deep within

alights

optimism's tree.

   Hurtling up steps
     scaling the heights
   Steaming ever onward

what though there be a garden of flowers
the essense of the whole distilled to but a drop
the humble bee alights
frozen in time and purpose
sucking the nectar of its created heaven
in the now in the here

     alights
     as a butterfly
in Spring

A thought
      arrives
      as inspiration
on the wing

An idea
       resides
       to crystallize
and bring

Premium Member Haiku- Dawn Quaternion

weed covers the pond-
a crested grebe
dives for treasure

a puffed up firecrest
alights upon
our smoke tree

a dawn delicacy-
the mistlethrush's
everyday grub

out of the nest-
the fledgling hopes
mother finds a worm

Premium Member Ample Is the Rising Sun

Ample is the rising sun
That alights the furthest mountain –
A carmine drape upon every hill –
Exciting the birds to warble. 

Ample, too, is the evening sun
That paints a nebulous curtain – 
Quickly changing the palette until
Bringing the good day to shutter.
