Haiku Collection 1

I.

You do all things well

and, in doing all things well,

fill the well in me

II.

Hold me in your hearts

and, no matter what comes, I

will not die alone

III.

Background:

These were snippets that I have recorded over the last few months that didn’t seem to need elaboration, so I played around with word order and syllables and realized they fit well as haikus.

Well, actually, the third one (written yesterday) immediately became a haiku. It is a form I would like to study and practice more. The few times I have stopped to read several haikus in a row, there were always a handful that packed an emotional punch or moved my heart like a strong breeze.

Here’s to the small and powerful.

Wishing you goodness without end,

Jess
