Hello, littlewing. Looks like the two of us posted at once back there! I also enjoy your haiku very much!
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
i hung up the phone
contemplating thoughts
the silence haunting
the silence haunting
this remote, isolated
heart's metropolis
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
heart's metropolis
skyscraped by teeming myriads
no man an island
se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato
no man an island
oceans flow between us all
joining all as one

joining all as one
mothers, the glue of the soul
peaceful gentle smile

behind soft curved lips
love felt strong safe and secure
exposed and open
exposed and open,
burmished fields spread before me,
sunlight birds flit by.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
sunlight birds flit by
salty seabreezes beckon
tall sails billowing

tall sails billowing,
The Flying Dutchman arises--
Is that Davey Jones?
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Is that Davey Jones?
No. A modern rendition...
