blood moon (haiku)

I wrote this in the wee hours waiting for the skies to clear but no, Mother Nature was in one of her moods not allowing me to peek at the man on that huge Red Blood Moon.   And this haiku was written in hopes to see this...

Mother Nature Knows Best (Haibun)

My bare feet tickled by the coolness of the grass as I stood to admire the full moon. Today is the last day. It is at its fullest but, alas, there are clouds.  One can see why Mother Nature planned this for such simple beings as we are, how could we possibly grasp such a powerful and illuminating moon?  Yes, indeed, Mother Nature understood fully that part of this glow had to be draped by billows here and there.

The energy I inhaled looking up was quite imposing.  I took in only what I could…Mother Nature knows best.

guiding light (haiga)

Moon behind the clouds

clouds veil my light

alone in darkness

moon peeks through

Even in the deep darkness there is light along the path just around the corner.
